Let the rumblings begin.
Giannis Antetokounmpo once again did everything he possibly could against the Indiana Pacers in Game 2 of the Milwaukee Bucks‘ first round series.
Antetokounmpo has been rumored to be eying his departure from Milwaukee if the Bucks suffer another early exitGettyHe dominated and was the best player on the court.
Just as he was for Game 1.
And the game once again had the same result.
With the Pacers taking home the win and a strong 2-0 lead in the series.
Antetokounmpo finished Game 2 with 34 points, 18 rebounds and 7 assists.
He finished Game 1 with 36 points, 12 rebounds and 1 assist.
The pressure has been on the Milwaukee front office to surround Antetokounmpo with the pieces necessary to contend for a championship.
Unfortunately for the Bucks, Kyle Kumza doesn’t qualify.
And they have now left themselves in a possibly uneasy summer.
By no means is the series over, but it doesn’t look good.

The soft whispers will become a deafening roar.
Fans have already begun the speculation.
‘Giannis trade request rumors are about to explode if the Pacers keep this up,’ one fan wrote on X.
‘Playing with Kuzma is going to be the final straw for Giannis to demand a trade,’ another fan chimed in.
The New York Post’s Brian Lewis already reported that the Brooklyn Nets are expected to make a serious push to trade for the two-time MVP this summer.
The Nets view Antetokounmpo as a ‘prime target’ per Lewis,
And there’s no doubt the Nets won’t be the only ones interested.
There’s still time for Antetokounmpo and the Bucks to turn it around in their series against the Pacers, but it’s starting to get late real quick.
The championship that Antetokounmpo brought to Milwaukee in 2021 feels like much more than four years ago.
