The Milwaukee Bucks and two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo are seemingly at an impasse. As has been thoroughly covered previously, the 10-time All-Star is not happy with the team over his return-to-play situation.
The NBA says its investigation into the Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo remains ongoing, with key details still unresolved. In a statement relayed by ESPN’s Shams Charania, a league spokesperson said “certain facts remain in dispute” regarding Antetokounmpo’s status and Milwaukee’s handling of his injury.

The latest details come a day after the league opened an investigation into whether the Bucks, who have been eliminated from playoff contention, have prevented Antetokounmpo from playing.
