Mariah Antetokounmpo and the couple’s four young children remained in Greece, their offseason home, long after the summer months ended to avoid the drama. Their absence was noticed around Fiserv Forum, where the family usually is a major part of Bucks game days. The boys like to help dad with his pre-game warm-up shots. Mariah is a supportive spouse and attentive mom. The Bucks staff and employees all pitch in to keep an eye on the kids, who frequent the locker room. But for weeks, Antetokounmpo was alone, without them. "I didn't know how this is going to be," he said. "And one thing that I always said is that as a father, I would never put my kids in a position where my profession would hurt them and their lifestyle.”
Serbian star Bogdan Bogdanovic has been heavily linked with a potential return to Partizan Belgrade next season, but for now, the Los Angeles Clippers guard isn't thinking about it. Speaking with RTS' Aleksandar Zigic after Sunday's win over the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum, Bogdanovic addressed the swirling rumors about a possible comeback to Partizan, saying that while it's nice to see the speculation, his focus remains elsewhere. "I see the rumors in the media too. It's nice to see those images, but should I make a decision now? I have seven games left and a playoff run ahead, so my head is here. I'm not thinking about what will happen next month or next year," Bogdanovic said.
Giannis Antetokounmpo posted 31 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists to lead the Bucks to a 134-123 win over the Pacers on Sunday afternoon at Fiserv Forum. The Pacers lost their 13th straight to match the longest losing streak in franchise history with the previous 13-game losing streak coming in December and January of this year. They fell to 15-53 and have the worst record in the NBA. The Bucks improved to 28-39 and sit in 11th in the East.
Meanwhile, the Heat has yet to win another NBA championship despite playing in two NBA Finals in 2020 and 2023 following James’ exit in 2014. This season, the Heat enters Tuesday’s matchup against the Milwaukee Bucks at Fiserv Forum (8 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network Sun) in eighth place in the Eastern Conference with a 31-27 record. “I understood,” Riley said of James’ decision to leave the Heat, now seemingly at peace with the way things played out 12 years after James’ departure. “The business in the NBA is the business in the NBA. Players have an opportunity to go somewhere else, and he went to Cleveland and he won a title up there. So I wish him nothing but the best. But I’m going to be selfish here and say I wish I had him for another six or eight years. That would have been great. But we’ll never know, will we?”

He may not be a native Milwaukeean, but Peter Feigin is now the proud holder of a key to our city. The former president of the Milwaukee Bucks was presented with the key at a Fiserv Forum ceremony Thursday morning. Feigin has stepped away from the Bucks organization after 12 years. He was instrumental in the team's success during that period, and he played a big role in the construction of Fiserv Forum and the creation of Deer District.
Sources have said the uncertainty around Antetokounmpo has led to tension in the locker room and an uneasy environment. It has crept to the fan base as well. The Bucks were down 31 points at halftime against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Jan. 13, but when fans at Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee booed the home team heading into the half, Antetokounmpo took it personally. After making a layup in the third quarter, Antetokounmpo booed the home fans right back.
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged a tough start as Oklahoma City Thunder raced to a 38-18 first-quarter lead in Wednesday’s 122-102 loss at Fiserv Forum. “For some reason, we weren’t moving the ball as much. The ball was sticking a lot,” Giannis said. “They move the ball very, very, very well. Whenever we tried to double-team Shai, he was making the right pass to his teammate. We didn’t do our job. We played a lot of one-on-one, and with this team, you can’t play one-on-one.”
With the Milwaukee Bucks down by more than 30 points heading into halftime of Tuesday night's game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, the fans at Fiserv Forum booed the team as it exited the court. So, after Giannis Antetokounmpo scored the first basket of the third quarter, a layup over Wolves forward Julius Randle followed by a foul that knocked Antetokounmpo to the court, the Bucks' two-time MVP responded in kind: gesturing with two thumbs-down and booing the Milwaukee crowd as he sat on the court underneath the basket. Antetokounmpo said after the 139-106 loss that it was the first time he can remember being booed at his home arena. "Whenever I get booed, I boo back," Antetokounmpo said after scoring 25 points on 9-of-13 shooting.
Peter Feigin is stepping down as the Milwaukee Bucks’ president after a 12-season run overseeing the team’s business operations. Josh Glessing, who has been working as the Haslam Sports Group’s chief of strategy and development, will be taking over for Feigin. The two will be working together over the next months while the transition takes place. Feigin joined the Bucks in 2014 and was in place for the 2018 opening of Fiserv Forum as well as the championship season of 2020-21 while strengthening the team’s ties to the Milwaukee community.

Before falling to a fifth straight loss in the 2025-26 NBA Regular Season, Doc Rivers revealed that Giannis Antetokounmpo will follow the Milwaukee Bucks on an upcoming two-game road trip, but will not necessarily play against the Miami Heat on Wednesday or the New York Knicks on Friday. The Greek Freak has already been sidelined for one week due to left adductor strain. Therefore, bouncing back over the next few team outings would fit the initial projections on the recovery timeline. Back home after the trips to Miami and New York, the Bucks will host the Brooklyn Nets in Fiserv Forum on Saturday.
Milwaukee Bucks guard Cole Anthony was ejected with 10 minutes, 40 seconds left to go in the team's 135-133 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Nov. 1 at Fiserv Forum he received his second technical foul for arguing with referees. The Bucks were already playing without starting point guard Kevin Porter Jr., who suffered a knee injury during a workout. That left the Bucks with just Ryan Rollins and Anthony as primary ball handlers in the back court. "That definitely hurt the team," Bucks' forward Giannis Antetokounmpo acknowledged. "We, as a team, have to be smarter, not just Cole. We gotta pull him away from the ref before. When he has his first one, we gotta talk to him to kind of calm down and don't get your second one because we need you in the game. (Porter) is not playing, like, we need you in the game. You gotta stay locked in.
Thursday was just one of those nights for the Warriors. Golden State was defeated 120-110 by the Bucks, who were without Giannis Antetokounmpo (knee) at Fiserv Forum, in what was an impressive team effort by Milwaukee. Warriors coach Steve Kerr explained to reporters postgame -- with a genuine laugh -- how Golden State has consistently struggled over the years in games when its opponents are missing marquee players. “It shouldn't be that way, because we're like 0-12 the last couple of years when the stars don't play,” Kerr said. “I just told our coaches, ‘If I [were] an opposing coach, I would just sit the star every time.’”
Baxley points to the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody Center, which Gensler helped design, as an example of a sunken arena that flows into a public plaza. The firm also helped design the Milwaukee Bucks’ Deer District, a mixed-use neighborhood outside the team’s new Fiserv Forum that includes a public plaza, entertainment venues, restaurants and retail. The idea of the extending the arena into downtown’s streets with outward-facing concessions and retail is somewhat novel, Baxley said. His model shows large canopies extending over First and Hennepin, creating shopping arcades that provide some shelter from the weather.
