A series of offensive tweets were posted to Antetokounmpo's Twitter account shortly before 4 p.m. ET. Several contained racist comments and others made derogatory remarks about LeBron James, Stephen Curry, and the late Kobe Bryant.
The messages were quickly deleted and the Bucks announced the matter was being investigated.
