Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo drops a cryptic follow-up to ‘Thank you’ message

The coming weeks will be very critical for Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks as they try to find a win-win situation for both camps following a forgettable season.

The Bucks are open to listening again to trade offers for Antetokounmpo. The two-time MVP has sent mixed signals about his future in Milwaukee, but on Monday, he expressed his gratitude to the city.

“This has been one of the toughest seasons of my career, but as they say, like a phoenix from the ashes, I’ll rise. To the city of Milwaukee, MY city, thank you for the unwavering love and support,” wrote Antetokounmpo on X.

Fans viewed it as a farewell message. The 31-year-old Antetokounmpo has often stated his love for Milwaukee, which has given him numerous opportunities, including starting a family. But he also reportedly said he is ready to move on.

Antetokounmpo stoked it further with a cryptic follow-up to his post on X, posting a short video on his Instagram Story.

Fans said Antetokounmpo’s gesture means “clock it,” slang for noticing or agreeing with a hidden truth.

Antetokounmp played a career-low 36 games this season due to various injuries. He averaged 27.6 points, 9.8 rebounds, and 5.4 assists. He was linked to trade rumors all year, which proved to be a distraction for the Bucks.

Milwaukee only won 32 games and failed to qualify for the playoffs for the first time after a nine-year streak. Antetokounmpo, who gave the team its second title, was blamed for the “toxic situation” of the Bucks.

The Miami Heat are being floated anew as a landing spot for the 10-time All-Star.
