Giannis Antetokounmpo and Zion Williamson to the rescue
Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is the latest star to follow Kevin Love’s footsteps as he pledges to donate $100,000 to the Fiserv Forum staff to help them out during the NBA’s suspension.
The Greek Freek announced this decision on Twitter
Detroit Pistons power forward Blake Griffin also pledged $100,000 to help staff at Little Ceasars Arena. He announced this on Twitter on Friday, saying he was following Kevin Love’s lead.
Hope is that with this indefinite suspension(at least 30 days) franchise owners will also stand up and join this cause.
