More on this storyline
Jeff Stotts: If Haliburton did indeed tear his Achilles, that would be the 8th Achilles tear of the season. The previous high was 5 (14-15). The total doesn’t include Thanasis Antetokounmpo who tore his in the offseason or prospect Jalon Moore who was injured in a recent pre-draft workout. -via x.com / June 22, 2025
Why is Thanasis the goat? Jim Owczarski: He is perhaps the best personality I’ve been around. I often say he’s a guy who, after you talk to him, you’ll run through a wall. But you won’t run through that wall FOR him — he’ll just make you feel so good that you can do it. -via Reddit / May 30, 2025
“I’m back, I’m back,” a beaming Thanasis Antetokounmpo said during a live taping of his “Thanalysis Show” podcast at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino. “I’m back. I’m back.” The older Antetokounmpo is just referring to getting the chance to resume his basketball career, though not necessarily with the Bucks. Doctors have given him the clearance to return to basketball after he missed the 2024-25 season with a torn Achilles he suffered just over a year ago. -via Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel / May 20, 2025
