Giannis speaks on frustrations in missing playoffs due to injury
Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo expresses his frustration in not being able to play in the playoffs and shares his optimism for next year.
In the first round of the 2024 NBA draft, the Milwaukee Bucks selected guard AJ Johnson from the Illawarra Hawks of the National Basketball League in Australia.
Johnson, 19, averaged 2.9 points, 1.3 rebounds, and 0.7 assists on 37% shooting from the field in 26 games last season.
Bucks general manager Jon Horst labeled Johnson as a “player with great athleticism and speed,” but also admitted that Johnson needed to build upon his frame.
The Fresno, California native is listed at 6-feet-5 and 167 pounds. Horst drew comparisons between Johnson and former Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings in terms of size and speed as a young player.

Horst also indicated that Johnson may take some time to develop, rather than help right away.
“I’m not going to put a limit or a ceiling on someone,” he said. “Maybe he’ll play a lot this year, maybe he won’t. If he did, he would be the first player at his age and his frame to play a lot, even on a good team.”
Were the Bucks right to select Johnson, a player with the athleticism Milwaukee lacks, but may take some years to impact the roster? Or should they have gone with a more pro-ready prospect who could help right away? Let us know in the poll below.

Milwaukee Wave coach Marcio Leite 2025-26 team’s evolution in MASL
See first-year Milwaukee Wave head coach Marcio Leite discuss the roles of younger players and veterans as the 2025-26 MASL season begins.
The Milwaukee Wave had been in the awkward position of trying to sell tickets to the MASL championship series without knowing when it would actually host a game.
The questions were answered late April 19, when the San Diego Sockers beat the St. Louis Ambush in the other semifinal in overtime. Their series didn’t even start until four days after the Wave eliminated the Baltimore Blast with victories in a regulation Game 2 and knockout Game 3 at the UWM Panther Arena.
Now the finals are set for two of the most decorated teams in arena soccer.
The Wave will host Game 1 at 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, April 22 and then the series will finish at the Frontwave Arena in Oceanside, California, with Game 2 at 9:30 p.m. April 24 and a potential Game 3 at 9 p.m. April 27.
Three versions of the Sockers have totaled 16 championships in various indoor league with the latest iteration founded in 2009 owning six of those. The Wave has seven.
First-year Wave head coach Marcio Leite has won titles with both franchises.
