Antetokounmpo played in 57 games this past year for the Bucks, averaging 9.9 minutes per game. He put up 2.9 points and 2.2 rebounds in those games, but also played a significant role as part of the bench mob.
The 29-year-old also played in 13 playoff games but was forced to miss the clinching game of the NBA Finals following a positive COVID-19 test.
