The Toronto Raptors are the front-runners to sign Giannis Antetookounmpo in case he leaves the Milwaukee Bucks, per Sean Deveney of Heavy.

“I don’t think he leaves the Bucks,” one league executive said. “But if he does, Toronto has to be the front-runner. Staying in Milwaukee, that’s No. 1. But if he can stand the cold, Toronto is the perfect situation for him, the next best thing,” Deveney reports.

If Antetokounmpo doesn’t sign the supermax extension with the Bucks after this season ends, he can become an unrestricted free agent in 2021.
