The team is not permitted to offer the contract extension until the summer of 2020. Asked about Antetokounmpo’s contract situation on 12 September at a town hall event, Horst replied, “The answer right now is we can’t talk and negotiate anything. Giannis, basically a year from now, will be eligible for a supermax extension. At that time, of course, he’ll be offered a supermax extension.” Antetokounmpo, 24, won the league’s MVP award in 2018-19 after averaging 27.7 points.
