Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked about the bombshell report published by ESPN’s Shams Charania on Tuesday regarding his uncertain future with the team.

Charania reported that Antetokounmpo contemplated his future all offseason, and that the Bucks and New York Knicks had multiple trade conversations surrounding the nine-time All-Star.

Antetokounmpo said he didn’t read the story, but reaffirmed that he’s committed to winning — which, for now, is with Milwaukee.

“First of all, I haven’t read that story. When the season starts, I try to get off social media and I try to focus on my craft and the team,” Antetokounmpo said. “But yeah, l’ve said this many times, I want to be in a situation that I can win and now I’m here. I believe in this team. I believe in my teammates. I’m here to lead this team to wherever we can go and it’s definitely going to be hard. We’re going to take it day-by-day, but I’m here.

“So, all the other extra stuff does not matter. I think l’ve communicated with my teammates, communicated with the people I respect and love that the moment I step on this court or in this facility, I wear this jersey, the rest does not matter. I’m locked into whatever I have in front of me.”

Antetokounmpo wasn’t ready to commit long-term to Milwaukee, though.

“Now, if in six, seven months, I change my mind, I think that’s human too,” Antetokounmpo said. “You’re allowed to make any decision you want. But I’m locked in. I’m locked in to this team. I’m locked in to these guys, to this group and to this coaching staff and to myself.”
