Giannis Antetokounmpo ’s wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, made an emotional statement about Milwaukee. This is a peculiar time for the Bucks, as it was reported a few weeks ago that Giannis and his agent are discussing his future, whether that's in Milwaukee or outside it.

On Thursday morning, Giannis spoke with reporters after his workout following shootaround. It was his first media availability since early December, when reports began questioning his future in earnest. He even acknowledged something that comes with being the star he is: one has to learn how to tune it all out.
