Giannis Antetokounmpo was traded from the Milwaukee Bucks to the Miami Heat on June 26, 2026, ESPN reported. The move concluded a 13-year tenure with the Bucks. The Bucks finished the 2025-26 season with 32 wins and missed the play-in tournament.
The NBA opened an investigation into the team after Antetokounmpo accused the club of not allowing him to play. Antetokounmpo had told the Bucks on multiple occasions that he wanted to be traded. The team canvassed the league for months and received at least four strong offers that he rejected.
Boston submitted a final offer that included Jaylen Brown. Miami's proposal featured Tyler Herro along with young players and draft assets. Bucks general manager Jon Horst and his staff played two or three pickup games at the team facility in the 10 days before the trade.
Horst had previously played guard for Rochester College teams that won two USCAA national championships.
