Sources: NBA investigating Bucks after Giannis says he's healthy - via @ESPN App espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Giannis Antetokounmpo said he’s healthy enough to play and the Bucks are sitting him out against his wishes. Notable quotes from Giannis, via @eric_nehm: "You know who you are dealing with. So for somebody to come and tell me to not play or not to compete, it’s like a slap in my face. So, I don’t know where the relationship goes from there." "I’m available to play, but I’m not in the game. I’m available to play today. Right now. I’m available. Do I look like I’m not available? … I don’t see myself in the first 12. I don’t see myself in the starting lineup. I don’t know what game is being played right here, I just don’t wanna be a part of it." "I've never seen a case of my caliber of player saying it publicly: I want to f–-ing play. You know what I’m saying? I don’t think I’ve seen this. So, if there needs to be an investigation, great. There should be. I don’t know. There should be. Until we figure something out."

DEVELOPING: Nickeil Alexander-Walker has passed Jalen Duren as the favorite to win Most Improved Player of the Year, per @BetUS_NBA. 🍿🍿🍿

Some Bucks players have reportedly lost confidence in Doc Rivers’ coaching style, per @BrettSiegelNBA “Nothing has gone right for the Bucks in quite some time, and while Doc Rivers is certainly not to blame for all of the organization's flaws, his 95-99 record since taking over in Milwaukee is extremely underwhelming. Not to mention, multiple sources relayed that there is a lack of confidence among several Bucks players in Rivers' style of coaching.” (Via clutchpoints.com/nba/nba-storie…)
