Bucks provide no timetable for Giannis Antetokounmpo's calf strain return

Giannis Antetokounmpo is sidelined with a calf strain, with the Bucks' coach Doc Rivers stating there's "no timetable" for his return, despite Antetokounmpo's self-diagnosis of 4-6 weeks. This absence will cause him to miss the All-Star game and eligibility for postseason awards. The Bucks are 3-11 without him this season, and his injury further squashes any pre-deadline trade rumors. While Antetokounmpo publicly denies wanting a trade, internal tension is high. A summer trade is considered more likely, especially as he enters the final year of his contract in 2026-27, with the team exploring options to build around him or face a potential departure.
