With the Bucks freshly eliminated, speculation is already swirling around Giannis Antetokounmpo. Will he leave? Will he stay? Fans are left in suspense, and his wife’s latest Instagram post certainly doesn’t clear things up.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was just 26 years old in 2021 when he led the Bucks to an NBA title. He was coming off back-to-back MVP seasons and a Defensive Player of the Year award. Who could have imagined that the rest of his career would turn out like this? Individually, he remains one of the best players in the world and a dominant big man. But collectively…

Unable to defend their title, the Bucks were eliminated in the conference semifinals the following year, and now have been knocked out in the first round three years in a row. It’s a bitter reality, and the situation isn’t improving. Doc Rivers no longer seems like the coach to match Giannis’ ambitions, Damian Lillard just tore his Achilles tendon, and the front office has no promising young players to offer in trades.

The Antetokounmpo family declares its love for Milwaukee

That’s why Giannis’ time in Wisconsin might come to an end this summer. At 30, he may want to spend the final years of his prime with a team that can fully maximize his talents. While Bucks fans are in despair, Mariah Antetokounmpo’s latest post might offer a glimmer of hope for the optimists.

To my husband, look at the life you’ve created! We love you. You make us proud every day. 💛 Your team.

Just minutes after her husband’s latest playoff elimination, Mariah posted a picture with their children on the Fiserv Forum court, all dressed in Bucks gear. It shows that Giannis isn’t the only one attached to the franchise, and any departure would be a family decision. Signs that give hope to some fans, but resignation to others:

@34for2: It’s confirmed, he’s not leaving.

@1UpStunt: That means nothing. Could just be a farewell message to the city.

@JinxJJ9: It means he’s leaving…
