"Giannis doesn't want to sit out," one source close to him told ESPN. "He always wants to play, and if he plays, he wants to win."
Milwaukee has not set a timetable for his return from a calf injury, though Giannis previously estimated a four- to six-week recovery.
The Bucks are currently 12th in the Eastern Conference, and four teams are reportedly pursuing the superstar forward.
Giannis has spent his entire 13-year career with the Bucks and had been averaging 28.0 points, 10.0 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game this season prior to the injury.
