NBA已对密尔沃基雄鹿队管理球员参赛政策的行为展开调查，重点关注关于扬尼斯·阿德托昆博健康状况的相互矛盾的报道。此前，球员工会（NBPA）曾指控球队“摆烂”（详见先前报道），而阿德托昆博本人尽管被球队排除在阵容之外，却表达了强烈的出场意愿。
据The Athletic率先报道，联盟此次调查旨在审查雄鹿队的决策，因为该队在无缘季后赛后，正着眼于高顺位选秀权。在赛季最后几周让阿德托昆博冒险上场已无竞技优势可言，这与球队交易截止日后的举措相一致：裁掉达米安·利拉德（支付1.13亿美元）并与迈尔斯·特纳签下一份为期四年、价值超过1亿美元的合同。阿德托昆博有资格在10月1日获得一份为期四年、价值2.75亿美元的续约合同，他在与主教练道格·里弗斯及总经理乔恩·霍斯特商谈后表达了沮丧。他说：“我想打球。有人跑来告诉我不要打球或不要竞争，这就像打我的脸。”他希望与在队中的兄弟一起打球，并驳斥了相反的传闻。球员工会一周前曾表示他已准备好复出，但雄鹿队仍将其雪藏，从而引发了有关球队“摆烂”的指控。阿德托昆博呼吁进行对话，将其比作“夫妻理疗”。
The NBA Players Association accused the Milwaukee Bucks of tanking on Tuesday by trying to shut down Giannis Antetokounmpo for the rest of the season. Antetokounmpo, sidelined since March 15 with a hyperextended knee and bone bruise, wants to return despite the team's position in the standings. The Bucks have played just 36 games with their star this season amid multiple injuries.
