Giannis Antetokounmpo has been traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat. The deal, reported on June 23, 2026, also sends Bobby Portis to Miami. In exchange, the Bucks receive Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr, Kasparas Jakucionis, three first-round picks, one pick swap and one second-round pick.
Antetokounmpo, 31, is a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player and 10-time All-Star who was drafted by the Bucks in 2013 and played his entire career there. He led Milwaukee to the 2021 NBA championship. The Bucks finished the 2025-26 regular season with a 32-50 record and missed the playoffs.
Antetokounmpo suffered a left knee hyperextension earlier in 2026 and spoke publicly in April about his frustration with the organization. “I feel like sometimes people just don’t listen,” Antetokounmpo said in April. “They listen to the sources.
The main source is me. ” The reported transaction ends more than a year of uncertainty over whether Antetokounmpo would finish his career with the Bucks.
