It's been a season to forget for the Milwaukee Bucks. And judging by Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's social media activity, it appears he wants to forget more than just this campaign.

Milwaukee fans discovered Tuesday that Antetokounmpo appears to have deleted all Bucks-related posts on his Instagram and X accounts, aside from pictures from their NBA Cup and NBA Finals victories. This understandably led to panic from Bucks fans who don't want to see their homegrown superstar traded to another team.

It'd be hard to blame Antetokounmpo if he did want out, though. Roster mismanagement and coaching dysfunction has led to Milwaukee not advancing past the first round of the playoffs since 2022, a remarkable feat (derogatory) considering Antetokounmpo finished top-five in MVP voting in each of those seasons.

The Bucks have lost eight of their last nine games, and after their seventh consecutive defeat Friday, Antetokounmpo implored his team to take a selfless approach in an effort to get things back on track.

"Nobody should have a personal agenda. Nobody should worry about what they want from themselves," Antetokounmpo said, per ESPN. "Worry only about winning mentality, winning mindset. The more we can win the games, the more everything takes care of itself."

If Antetokounmpo's apparent social media purge is any indication, he's not satisfied with the early returns.
