Myles Turner Says Giannis Antotekounmpo 'Showed up Whenever He Wants' for Bucks

Turner said Doc Rivers did not fine players, leaving the Bucks without accountability as they missed the playoffs and finished 26th in defensive rating.

  • On Friday, Milwaukee Bucks center Myles Turner detailed a lack of internal discipline under former coach Doc Rivers, stating the team "didn't fine anybody ever."
  • Carelessness on the sidelines filtered into gameplay as the Milwaukee Bucks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2016, finishing with the 10th-worst record in the league.
  • Turner told New York Liberty forward Breanna Stewart on the "Game Recognize Game" podcast that players frequently arrived late to meetings and flights, saying "Guys were late all the time."
  • Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo, whom Turner identified as frequently tardy, now faces an uncertain future as co-owner Jimmy Haslam confirmed the team is "open for business" on trade calls.
  • Following Rivers' departure, the organization hired former Memphis Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins to replace him, with Haslam aiming to resolve Antetokounmpo's status before the late June NBA Draft.
