Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo Didn’t Work Out Together During the Summer

The Milwaukee Bucks, who were beset by coaching and injury concerns last season, are hoping that their star tandem of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard can have more success this time around. Giannis disclosed during Bucks media day that he and Lillard had not worked out together this summer; Lillard would later reaffirm this in interviews during media day.

Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard were brought together by the Milwaukee Bucks to win the NBA title together. However, it looks like they haven’t trained together this offseason

“No, we didn’t physically train together. My plan was to travel to Greece. I had planned to travel to Greece, but I was unable to go since they had started camp in preparation for the Olympics. However, it was all.”

“However, even though we didn’t work out together, I feel like we’re on a better page with him today than I did the year before. Getting on the same page was more important than anything else.”

Giannis and coach Doc Rivers, who joined in the middle of the previous season, are two players with whom Lillard is better familiar, he said.

“I’ve learned Giannis’s game better than when I first arrived. I know Doc better now than I did when he first came here. This time, we don’t have to go through that procedure once more.”

Despite having a disappointing season in his first season with the Bucks, Damian Lillard averaged 24.3 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 7.0 assists last season. Being one of the league’s oldest clubs at the moment, he will be hoping that this season would bring him and his team some luck. With little resources to further modify the team, the franchise must aim for a championship this year.
