While neither would divulge the details of their conversations, the Bucks superstars talked often, working to build a stronger relationship.

After the Bucks traded for Damian Lillard late in September of 2023, there were only a few days for him and Giannis Antetokounmpo to get acquainted before the start of training camp. There’s hope that a year of playing together will help the two stars push the team back into title contention, writes Eric Nehm of The Athletic.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Khris Middleton, Brook Lopez and Damian Lillard talked publicly for the first time about the Bucks' eventful off-season.
