Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn't appreciate tennis star Nick Kyrgios fueling the rumor mill about his NBA future.
Kyrgios, who's friends with Antetokounmpo, suggested in a recent interview that the Milwaukee Bucks forward could be headed to Miami to join the Heat.
"I just asked him a bunch of questions," Kyrgios told Michael Chammas of The Sydney Morning Herald. "I asked him straight away if he was going to go and join Miami and then he had a massive smile on his face. Maybe that could be brewing."
Word apparently got back to Antetokounmpo, who called Kyrgios out on Twitter for trying to stir the pot:
Why do you always have to start something?!! 😂😂😂 @NickKyrgios

Kyrgios responded by downplaying his comments:
Brooooo u know ‘they’ always gotta make a story 😂😂😂 all I said is that you smiled 😳😭😅

Antetokounmpo has one year remaining on his contract with the Bucks. He said in September he envisions himself staying with the team long-term "as long as everybody's on the same page and as long as everybody's fighting for the same thing."
