Contemplating future in Milwaukee
After another first-round exit in the NBA playoffs and Damian Lillard suffering a devastating Achilles injury that will likely keep him sidelined for next season, Antetokounmpo is keeping his options open regarding where his career goes from here on out. The two-time NBA MVP's immediate future will be a hot topic of discussion during the summer, with the Bucks almost certainly getting plenty of trade calls from interested teams around the league. The 29-year-old is coming off another stellar season, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, 6.5 assists (career high) and 1.2 blocks per game, shooting 60.1 percent from the field.

Closes season out of rotation
Although Rollins played just 30 minutes across his three postseason appearances, he stepped up for Milwaukee late in the regular season while Damian Lillard (Achilles) was nursing a blood clot in his calf. Over his final 13 regular-season outings (11 starts), Rollins averaged 10.8 points, 3.9 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 three-pointers in 24.4 minutes while shooting 52.5 percent from the floor and 47.8 percent from deep. Rollins is set to be an unrestricted free agent this summer, although the Bucks could make it something of a priority to retain his services, with Lillard's 2025-26 campaign being in jeopardy.

Minimal role in 2024-25
Connaughton's playing time in Milwaukee continued to dwindle in 2024-25, as it was his fourth straight season that his minutes per game declined. The veteran sharpshooter also totaled just 13 minutes across three playoff appearances this year. With Taurean Prince and Gary Trent headed for unrestricted free agency this summer, however, Connaughton could find himself in a more prominent three-and-D role for the Bucks if he picks up his 2025-26 player option.
