Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 24 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and recorded four assists in a 111-107 preseason win over the Chicago Bulls on Monday night. Antetokounmpo is getting into midseason form in the preseason and will look to be a force once again this season.

One of the biggest stories on Monday night in the preseason game was when Giannis Antetokounmpo was fouled hard by Chicago Bulls player Josh Giddey in the first quarter. Antetokounmpo didn’t like it very much so he shoved Giddey and was t’d up for it.
In the offseason, the Chicago Bulls traded Alex Caruso to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Josh Giddey. There were some off-the-court issues with Giddey when he was with the Thunder. Here is how fans reacted to Antetokounmpo shoving Giddey in the first quarter of the preseason game on Monday night:
It was just a preseason game, but many people did not expect this to occur. The Bulls and the Bucks do not like each other so this is something to monitor later in the season.

On October 25, the Chicago Bulls will face the Bucks at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. It will be interesting to see if the beef between Josh Giddey and Giannis Antetokounmpo will continue to carry over.
The Bulls are trying to be a playoff team this season. As for the Bucks, they will have much higher expectations for the 2024-2025 NBA season.
