Giannis Antetokounmpo is looking to get healthy and “make things work” with the Milwaukee Bucks, according to Chris Haynes.
“He spoke to me about just being where his feet are planted…that is where his focus is at,” said Haynes about a recent conversation with Antetokounmpo.
Haynes then recounted a story that Antetokounmpo told years earlier about how when he sees a wall, he wants “to run through the wall, and make things work.”
“That’s my focus right now. I want to run through a wall, make things work, get healthy, and try to be there for my team,” recalled Haynes about what Antetokounmpo told him.
Haynes then added that Antetokounmpo doesn’t know what the Bucks’ plans are for this future.
“He doesn’t know what’s going on behind the scenes with the front office, or what they’re looking at doing as far as his future goes … his focus is getting healthy, being there for his team, and not running from a situation,” added Haynes.
Antetokounmpo and his agent opened up discussions over his future with the Bucks earlier this week.
Antetokounmpo is likely to miss close to four weeks with a calf strain.
