Is Giannis playing?
Antetokounmpo is questionable with a sore left hamstring, and after practice on Saturday Bucks head coach Doc Rivers said that while he loves heroes, he likes them better in May and June and wanted his MVP candidate to rest if its needed.
After the Bucks’ win over Philadelphia on Thursday, Antetokounmpo acknowledged that he doesn’t want to mess with soft tissue injuries in his legs and that it took him a while to feel good enough to play.
“I had to warm up,” he said of the prep to get ready to go against the 76ers. “There was no shape or form I could compete the game if I wasn’t 100% warmed up from the game going on. No, it takes a little bit to get your balance and get your steps, but my body was warm. My body was ready to go. You don’t play with stuff like that. You have to be on. There’s other times your body might feel good and you kind of warm up through the game. This wasn’t one of those games. I had to be a thousand percent ready to compete this game.”

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
