If Giannis’ self-diagnosed timeline is correct, the Bucks will have to do most of this heavy stretch of basketball without him. Things have gotten rough as it is, but they could get a whole lot worse by the time the dust settles on March 31.

Multiple NBA teams are chasing a blockbuster trade for Milwaukee Bucks star forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, but the Bucks aren't letting him go easily.

The Bucks' play on the court is not inspiring much confidence amid the many Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors.

On Thursday, the NBA announced the makeup date of the game, which will occur nearly a month after predicted. Local reporters predicted the game could be made up during the extended break of the All-Star Game. Instead, the game will be played Tuesday, March 31 at 8 p.m. EST.

The Milwaukee Bucks lost their third in a row, falling 139-122 to the Philadelphia 76ers on Jan. 27 despite 31 points from Myles Turner.

Paul George scored 32 points, Joel Embiid had 18 of his 29 points in the first quarter and the Philadelphia 76ers rolled to a 139-122 victory over the short-handed Milwaukee Bucks.

Giannis could be leaving Milwaukee. And according to the odds, his next landing spot could be a historic franchise in the East.
