Giannis Responds to Fan over Trending Soccer Video amid Injury, Bucks Trade Rumors

Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo was limited to a career-low 36 games this season due to multiple calf injuries, but that's not stopping him from enjoying his time off.

Antetokounmpo, whom the Bucks are considering trading this offseason, was seen having some fun in a friendly soccer game. The two-time NBA MVP responded to a fan on social media by saying he won't let the trade rumors or previous injuries hold him back from doing something he enjoys:

Antetokounmpo seems to be in the soccer spirit, as he attended the Champions League final between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, which PSG won 4-3 on penalty kicks following a 1-1 draw in regulation.

When the video surfaced of him playing soccer, Antetokounmpo declared his love for competition and revealed that it was his first time on the pitch since he was 11 years old.

Basketball appears to be far from Antetokounmpo's mind at this point in the offseason, as he also shared a video of his boxing training alongside his wife:

Antetokounmpo is set to be the most significant player available on the trade market this summer, but it remains unclear if any team would be willing to meet Milwaukee's demands. NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer recently reported that the Cleveland Cavaliers are not expected to pursue the 10-time All-Star.

Sam Amick of The Athletic reported that it has long been expected that the Oklahoma City Thunder "would not take part" in the pursuit of the 31-year-old, but their loss to the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals "is enough to re-spark that conversation."

Still, it's clear that Antetokounmpo isn't letting any of the chatter distract him from making the most out of his offseason.
