Milwaukee (AP) – Giannis Antetokounmpo’s social media accounts were hacked on Thursday afternoon and several bizarre and offensive tweets were posted, according to the Milwaukee Bucks, Antetokounmpo’s brother and the player’s representatives.
The tweets included racial slurs, profane attacks on other players and a claim that Antetokounmpo had the coronavirus.
The tweets weren’t up for long before disappearing from Giannis Antetokounmpo’s account.
Giannis Antetokounmpo sent out a tweet Thursday night confirming that his account was hacked.
Antetokounmpo said he felt “terrible” for the players who “were included in the malicious and untrue tweets.”
