Giannis Antetokounmpo has fueled speculation he might finally be leaving the Milwaukee Bucks.
All it took was a short social media post.
“GOD, I trusted you at the beginning, and I will continue to trust you throughout’’ he wrote on his X account Monday, June 22, followed by a prayer hands and 100 percent emojis.

An accompanying black-and-white photo showed Antetokounmpo from the back wearing his jersey No. 34 as if under the spotlight in a darkened arena.
Does this mean exit?
While Antetokounmpo, 31, has never demanded a trade from the Bucks, the possibility has percolated for months.
The 10-time All-Star forward led the Bucks to the NBA championship in 2021. But since then, the Bucks have only advanced beyond the first round of the playoffs once, and this past season Milwaukee failed to make the playoffs.
The Bucks finished 32-50 in the 2025-26 season.
The Bucks selected Antetokounmpo No. 15 overall in the first round of the 2013 NBA Draft, and in Milwaukee, he has developed into one of the league’s top players.
