The Bucks don't seem too worried about it, with some saying they've laughed about it, and Antetokounmpo has responded in other ways, too, noting that he misses Adrian Wojnarowski, who was once in the same role that Charania is at ESPN.

The move likely doesn’t move the needle too far for the Bucks’ title hopes, although the Eastern Conference is wide open with the Celtics’ Jayson Tatum and the Pacers’ Tyrese Haliburton also set to miss the year with Achilles injuries.

From an on-court perspective, the Knicks could roll out Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, OG Anunoby, Antetokounmpo, and Mitchell Robinson as the starting five, with Deuce McBride, Jordan Clarkson, and Guerschon Yabusele as the key rotational pieces.
