Milwaukee Bucks Player Reportedly Unfollows Giannis Antetokounmpo?

According to the Twitter account @theNBAalert, Bobby Portis has unfollowed Giannis Antetokounmpo.

The Milwaukee Bucks were the first seed in the Eastern Conference and had the best record (58-24) in the NBA during the 2022-23 regular season.

That said, they had a disappointing first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat, where they lost in only five games.

Their best player Giannis Antetokounmpo got injured in Game 1 and missed Games 2 and 3. 

Therefore, the Bucks were not at full strength for the series.

Even so, they still went home early and ended up firing head coach Mike Budenholzer.

Portis has spent the last three seasons playing for the Bucks and helped lead them to the NBA Championship in 2021. 

This past season, he averaged 14.1 points, 9.6 rebounds and 1.5 assists per contest while shooting 49.6% from the field and 37.0% from the three-point range. 

He has been one of their most important role players and is still under contract for at least two more seasons (before a player option in the summer of 2025).

Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo is the face of the franchise and has the exact same amount of time left on his contract (with a player option in the summer of 2025).

The 28-year-old finished the regular season with averages of 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per contest while shooting 55.3% from the field.
