NBA regular season, the Bucks 121-111 Knicks at home. After the game, Antetokounmpo talked about the trade rumors between him and the Knicks this summer in an interview.
The reporter asked: "Do you want to play for the Knicks?"
Antetokounmpo: "Who said that?"
Reporter: "Shams said it."
Antetokounmpo: "I haven't seen it. His report."
Reporter: "Is what Shams said true?"
Antetokounmpo: "I don't remember what he said. Now I represent this team, that's it. So it doesn't matter anymore. I'm focusing on the next game against the Warriors and trying to win two games in a row. But I haven't read Shams' report yet. I'm trying not to be bothered by these trade rumors. I don't care about them at all. I try to face them and help the team win."
According to Shams, Antetokounmpo pushed for trade negotiations between the Bucks and the Knicks during the offseason, but the two sides ultimately failed to reach an agreement.
