The trade deadline wasn’t all good news for Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks, as it meant saying goodbye to longtime teammate and close friend Khris Middleton.
The two-time MVP and Middleton could reunite on the court as soon as Friday when the Bucks visit the Washington Wizards.
Antetokounmpo, known for his lighthearted personality, joked about how he plans to approach the matchup against his former teammate.
“I’m not shaking his hand, I’m not talking to him, I’m not even looking at him, and every time I see him, I’m going to guard him full court, pick him up full court and deny him,” Antetokounmpo said with a grin.
“You know what I’m going to do? I’m going to make a 3 in his face and go, ‘Khash!’ I’m joking.”
