After a season full of tension and conflict, things between the Milwaukee Bucks and star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo may have finally reached a breaking point, and Antetokounmpo acknowledged as much.

The two sides have been at odds regarding Antetokounmpo’s status for the remainder of the season. Antetokounmpo wants to finish out the current campaign out on the floor, but with their playoff hopes dashed, the Bucks want to shut him down.

The NBA is currently investigating the situation, but being held out of action when he wants to play may be the final straw for Antetokounmpo.

“For somebody to come and tell me to not play or not to compete, it’s like a slap in my face,” Antetokounmpo told reporters Friday. “So I don’t know where the relationship goes from there.”
