The 2024/25 NBA season has started almost in the worst possible way for the Milwaukee Bucks. The Wisconsin franchise has lost 7 of its first 9 games, raising alarms with a 2-7 record. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo is not on the market.

ESPN has pointed this out from the NBA Rumors. "Teams have let the Bucks know they'd make an offer for Giannis if the day comes when things don't go well. But those are incoming, not outgoing calls, and it's likely to remain that way," writes Brian Windhorst, a league insider.

In the Bucks' last game against the New York Knicks, Milwaukee fell 94-116. Additionally, Antetokounmpo appeared particularly uncomfortable, despite his 24 points and 12 rebounds. He couldn't stop Karl-Anthony Towns, who finished with 32 points, 11 rebounds, and 5 assists.

Doc Rivers, Is Time Up?

 The one who is under scrutiny and likely to be fired if the trend continues is the coach. Doc Rivers has not lived up to expectations since joining the Bucks' bench, and all indications are that he will fall soon if the situation is not turned around.
