By Adam McGee
The latest Milwaukee Bucks Daily is here as Giannis Antetokounmpo shares his thoughts on the NBA’s culture of group workouts and potential overfamiliarity.
In today’s edition of Milwaukee Bucks Daily, we learn why Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn’t take up invitations to work out alongside many of the league’s stars in the offseason, catch up on continued reaction to Friday’s trade, and much more.
As was well-documented throughout the summer, Antetokounmpo did get the opportunity to workout with Kobe Bryant during the most recent offseason, but he continues to keep his cards close to his chest when it comes to active NBA players.
