MILWAUKEE — The Milwaukee Bucks will start training camp without their superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, who remains in Greece after testing positive for COVID-19.
General Manager Jon Horst announced during the team's media day that Antetokounmpo is still recovering from the illness. The two-time MVP joined the news conference remotely via Zoom to address his absence from the team's first day of camp.
"I'm bummed out that I'm not there with the team and get this ball rolling, and as a leader, I don't feel good about this. But this is life," Antetokounmpo said.
The Bucks are coming off a significant offseason that saw major roster changes. The team lost star point guard Damian Lillard and center Brook Lopez, but added some firepower by bringing in center Myles Turner.
