Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee has become a major storyline across the NBA landscape. Recently, multiple reports suggested the Bucks and their franchise star have discussed the possibility of an eventual exit. The speculation intensified this week when rumors surfaced that Giannis might be eyeing a move, with several teams emerging as potential destinations.
The timing coincided with an injury setback: Antetokounmpo suffered a non-contact calf strain during Milwaukee’s matchup against the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. He exited early and is expected to miss 2–4 weeks.
Bucks head coach Doc Rivers forcefully pushed back on the trade chatter, telling reporters that Giannis “has never asked to be traded” and reiterating that the organization has not engaged in trade conversations with the two-time MVP or his representation.
Despite the denials, the market has reacted. Kalshi is currently offering odds on Giannis’ next team, with the market set to expire on February 6, 2026. Any move after that date will not count toward settlement.
Giannis Future Team Odds at Kalshi
Here are the current Kalshi odds on Giannis Antetokounmpo’s next team:
- Stays with Milwaukee or retires (30%)
- New York Knicks (29%)
- Miami Heat (16%)
- Atlanta Hawks (7%)
- San Antonio Spurs (6%)
- Golden State Warriors (4%)
- Los Angeles Lakers (4%)
- Brooklyn Nets (3%)
- Toronto Raptors (3%)
- Detroit Pistons (2%)
As the Bucks navigate Antetokounmpo’s injury absence and the outside noise surrounding his long-term future, the trade speculation is unlikely to fade anytime soon.
Interestingly, Kalshi bundled the possibilities of Giannis remaining a Buck and retiring altogether into a single market. It’s the most popular market, likely due to Rivers’ comments or speculation that the 31-year-old star is ready to hang up his sneakers.
Other prediction market apps like Polymarket also have markets surrounding Giannis’ future status. The most popular market across platforms is that Giannis won’t be traded, but the Knicks is also the favorite team according to Polymarket.
