Giannis Antetokounmpo points to communication issues with Bucks

Beyond the injury situation, Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo addressed what he sees as communication problems within the organization.

“I feel like sometimes people just don’t listen,” he said. “They listen to the sources. The main source is me. It is what it is. So again, do not disturb on my phone, go about my day, improve, and come back better.”

The Greek star added that communication needs to go both ways between the player and the team.

“I’ve always been open, but I don’t know if that … it’s got to go both ways. It has to go both ways. That cannot go one way.”

Antetokounmpo has played his entire career with the Bucks, posting averages of 24.1 points, 9.9 rebounds, and 5.0 assists over 895 regular-season games.
