Charania I'm told Giannis Antetokounmpo has at least started to do some stationary jump shootingBut still not much cutting no scrimmaging no all out running yetI think the Bucks have to be prepared to keep playing on without Giannis

Charania Giannis is trying to ramp up this week from my understanding he wants to play with his brothers before the regular season ends he's making it very clear behind the scenes that's his goal

Charania I'm not aware of any involvement from Giannis in this search process This was something that the Bucks genuinely ledmy understanding is that there's been zero communication between these two sides since the deadline as far as Giannis and the organization's top brass

Charania I'm told he participated in the 76ers shootaround this morning He has some treatment this afternoon and then he's going to see when he gets to the arena is he going to be able to warm up to try and play You know Joel Embiid wants to give it a chance

Bill Simmons questions whether Giannis is still a top 5 player and doesnt think teams should trade all their assets for him He doesnt play Hes closer to Embiid than Jokic He doesn't play He gets hurt all the time He's hurt all the time I would be really scared about this

Run It Back on FanDuel TV Bobby Portis on Giannis Antetokounmpo Theres no reason for him to be out there especially business-wise if youre talking about a trade You dont want an injury to knock value off I don't think he'll play another game this year for sure

Charania There is hope internally there that Cade Cunningham will be able to return in time to the NBA playoffs in mid April He's starting to do some small steps in the facility and the weight room The Pistons expect to have a better sense on a exact timeline in the next 1-2 weeks
