Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer on Giannis Antetokounmpo's status: “He always wants to make himself available. He does everything to make himself available. He wants to play. But I think there’s also a maturity for Giannis and an understanding and a growth that we just respect, and I think he respects us.”
