Bucks coach Doc Rivers said there have been no talks between team officials and Giannis Antetokounmpo regarding the two-time NBA MVP's potential exit from Milwaukee and reported interest in joining the New York Knicks.
Rivers' comments Wednesday before the Bucks' 113-109 victory over the Detroit Pistons followed an ESPN report that Antetokounmpo and his agent, Alex Saratsis, had started speaking with the Bucks about the superstar's future and whether he's best suited to stay in Milwaukee or play elsewhere. Rivers said "there's been no conversations" in that regard.
"Giannis has never asked to be traded — ever," Rivers said.
