The San Antonio Spurs want to acquire Giannis Antetokounmpo and will reportedly work hard to get him from the Milwaukee Bucks.

Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz. Here are the recent updates regarding the Bucks star's ongoing trade rumours.

The 19-1 Thunder are currently the favorites to win the 2025 NBA Cup (-125 at FanDuel ). The Bucks won the competition last year, and the Lakers won the initial version in 2023. Tuesday, Dec. 9: Heat at Magic, 6 p.m. ET | Knicks at Raptors, 8:30 p.m. ET

Earlier this week, the Dallas Hoops Journal reported that the Spurs — alongside the New York Knicks — are positioned to “aggressively pursue” Antetokounmpo if he signals the desire for a move. However, San Antonio’s restraint has become part of its long-term identity.

Check out all of the action around a 9-game night in the NBA. Giannis Antetokounmpo suffered a calf strain in the opening minutes, but the Bucks rallied to grab a win over the top-seeded Pistons. They rode a 35-24 fourth quarter to their comeback victory. The Bucks shot 49 percent from the field while holding the Pistons to 40 percent shooting.

The Knicks boast a 10-1 home record at Madison Square Garden but continue to struggle on the road, dropping to 3-6 after a loss to Boston.

Towns is now in his second season with the Knicks since being traded from the Minnesota Timberwolves. Last season, he was named an All-Star and All-NBA, and was a key part of the Knicks’ run to the Eastern Conference Finals.
