As the NBA trade deadline approaches, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo continues to draw interest across the league, with new reporting indicating the Philadelphia 76ers are on his radar despite no direct trade talks between the teams. According to Marc Stein and Jake Fischer of The Stein Line, Antetokounmpo’s interest in Philadelphia is tied to the prospect of playing alongside 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey rather than any active front-office engagement with Milwaukee. ESPN has also reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves have joined the sweepstakes, with Antetokounmpo holding interest in the possibility of pairing with Anthony Edwards. The 76ers are not assembling a trade package and have not engaged Milwaukee, but Antetokounmpo’s interest appears rooted in Maxey’s emergence and their shared offseason training relationship rather than immediate front-office maneuvering. His production has helped lift Philadelphia to a 25-21 record, good for sixth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
