MILWAUKEE (AP) — Not even a case of COVID-19 could prevent Giannis Antetokounmpo from discussing his excitement regarding his upcoming season with the new-look Milwaukee Bucks.

Antetokounmpo remained back in Greece recovering while the Bucks held their media day Monday in Milwaukee. The two-time MVP said he’s waiting for a negative test before joining his teammates.

“I’m really bummed that I’m not able to be there from Day 1,” Antetokounmpo said in a Zoom session with reporters. “I want my teammates to feel my presence and feel my seriousness and how much I want to compete and for us to have a great year, but at the end of the day they will understand and if I’m not there today to see them I’ll be there in a few days and we can get the ball rolling.”
