The Bucks don't seem too worried about it, with some saying they've laughed about it, and Antetokounmpo has responded in other ways, too, noting that he misses Adrian Wojnarowski, who was once in the same role that Charania is at ESPN.

The Milwaukee Bucks are still looking to make noise in the Eastern Conference as title contenders. The team still has All-Star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, which makes the Bucks a threat. Despite losing star guard Damian Lillard, there is a belief that Milwaukee can still make noise.

The move likely doesn’t move the needle too far for the Bucks’ title hopes, although the Eastern Conference is wide open with the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton also set to miss the year with Achilles injuries.
