Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to join Heat

Bucks All-Star Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to play for the Miami Heat, ESPN reported on Monday.

The two-time MVP is under contract with Milwaukee for 2026-27 and has a player option for 2027-28, but trade talks have encircled Antetokounmpo since the franchise revealed it would be open to a deal.

The Bucks have been exploring trade options for the 31-year-old forward ahead of next week’s NBA Draft.

Talks with the Heat “have intensified over the last 7-10 days” and Antetokounmpo “has focused on wanting to be a member of the Miami Heat,” ESPN reported.

The 10-time All-Star played a career-low 36 games in 2025-26 and Milwaukee missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season. Antetokounmpo hyperextended his left knee on March 15 and was shut down for the rest of the season.

Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to an NBA championship in 2021 and is the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (895), points (21,531), rebounds (8,882), assists (4,484) and blocked shots (1,088).

He carries a $58.5 million cap hit for the 2026-27 campaign with a $62.8 million player option for 2027-28, according to Spotrac.

In Miami, Antetokounmpo potentially would form a powerful frontcourt combo alongside three-time All-Star center Bam Adebayo.
