Giannis hurt again and the Bucks season is circling the drain ... so now what? (01.27.2026)

Author: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel January 27, 2026 Duration: 58:08

Bucks reporter Jim Owczarski joins host JR Radcliffe to discuss another injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo, one that's likely to keep him out for well over a month. The Bucks season is completely sunk, right? What does that mean for Antetokounmpo's future in Milwaukee, especially with the trade deadline just ahead? They discuss Giannis's puzzling run of games before the injury, the team's rosier-than-you-might-think draft outlook, Doc Rivers still being the head coach, how management might approach the Giannis situation in the offseason, why the Bucks have every opportunity to bounce back quickly next season, where Jon Horst is in all of this and more.

Music intro produced by Olivia Reiner and voiced by Michelle Rutkowski.
