The Milwaukee Bucks are clearly feeling the exhaustion.

Shortly after NBA insider Shams Charania announced that Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with Milwaukee remains uncertain, intensifying the swirling trade speculations since the Bucks’ exit from the 2024–25 playoffs, the team’s social media managers seemed to have subtly responded.

On X (formerly known as Twitter), the Bucks seemingly addressed the ongoing rumors with a succinct emoji post: a yawn.

See the post below:

While the post did not directly address Charania, the timing of the team’s message is quite telling, coming just after the journalist’s earlier statements that day.

Speaking on ESPN’s First Take on Monday, Charania explicitly mentioned, “there is nothing definite about whether Giannis Antetokounmpo is staying in Milwaukee or considering other options.”

He added, “Throughout this offseason, he’s been contemplating his future. I reported as early as mid-May that he is open to exploring whether his future lies in Milwaukee or perhaps a move elsewhere. He’s been having some serious discussions with his close advisors, as far as I know.”

Check out his complete comments below:

Should Giannis decide to request a trade, there’s no doubt that other teams would immediately show strong interest. However, if Monday’s post is any indication, the mood within the Bucks organization seems to be one of indifference, suggesting that perhaps this whole situation might ultimately lead to nothing substantial.
