Giannis Antetokounmpo is viewed as a prime trade candidate at this point.
Maybe the Milwaukee Bucks' superstar needs to return from his calf strain injury, but it feels like a matter of when, not if, Giannis will be traded away from the Bucks.
But it hasn't happened yet.
That's despite the fact that fans are encountering all sorts of viral (but fake) rumors about a Giannis trade on social media.

Did Giannis Antetokounmpo get traded?
No, Giannis has not been traded as of 4:30 p.m. ET on Thursday, Dec. 11.
That's not to say he won't be, but he's still with the Bucks right now.
The most viral rumor involving this comes from popular parody account NBA Centel, which posted this on Thursday:

Centel has had an eerie track record of getting news "right," just well ahead of time. So maybe the Spurs' fanbase should still be excited.
But for now, Giannis remains in Milwaukee.
One key date is coming up: Many players who signed in the offseason become eligible to be traded on Dec. 15. So once that comes, teams will be able to make fuller offers for Antetokounmpo. And maybe that's when a move will finally take place.
