Giannis Antetokounmpo may stay in new role with Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo playing as the Milwaukee Bucks' point forward may not be a short-term fix.

At least that's the way it sounds when you listen to Bucks coach Jason Kidd.

The 6-foot-11 Antetokounmpo started his 10th game as the team's designated ball-handler as the Bucks faced Minnesota on Friday night. It's a role he assumed when Michael Carter-Williams went to the bench in a lineup shakeup made just before the all-star break.

Antetokounmpo has been used even more as the ball-handler with Carter-Williams now sidelined by a left patellar injury.
