"Dame has put a curse on Bucks"- NBA fans clamor over Milwaukee missing Giannis Antetokounmpo vs red-hot Cavaliers

Giannis Antetokounmpo's absence from the Milwaukee Bucks' Monday game against the unbeaten Cleveland Cavaliers has NBA fans talking. Due to a right adductor strain, Antetokounmpo is classified as out against the Cavaliers.

Milwaukee didn't expect a 1-5 start to the season with a healthy squad. The team started strong, winning against the Philadelphia 76ers (without Joel Embiid and Paul George) in their season opener. However, the team didn't build on its early winning momentum in the subsequent games.

They needed all their players tonight when they take on the ferocious Cavaliers. Along with the Oklahoma City Thunder, they are one of two unbeaten teams.

The Bucks' season caused a stir among fans after the "Greek Freak's" injury was confirmed.

"Dame has put a curse on the Bucks," one fan said.

"Bucks might miss the playoffs this year at this rate," another fan gave their prediction of Milwaukee's season.

"1-6 on the way," a fan said predicted the outcome of the Cavs-Bucks game.

Other supporters discussed their predictions for the game's outcome.

"They bout to lose by 50," one fan said.

"Cavs looking to go 8-0," another fan said.

"Oh s**t Bucks about to lose by 30 lmfaooo," a fan said.

NBA insider says Giannis Antetokounmpo could force his way to New York

On Thursday, NBA insider Bill Reiter said the Miami Heat and the Brooklyn Nets could trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

On Monday, the insider said on the new episode of "Beyond the Arc" that the New York Knicks could join the Giannis sweepstakes.

"Giannis has already let some people know that places he’s eyeing are Miami and New York if he decides that he wants a move," Reiter said. "They've got to be bad enough where Giannis asks for a trade."

The Knicks improved their frontcourt after the trade for Karl-Anthony Towns but will still explore the possibility of adding the two-time MVP to the mix.
