In

this week’s Tuesday Tracker and SB Nation Reacts poll, we asked you about the choice the Bucks will have to make if Giannis is cleared to return from injury before the end of the season. We also got your opinion on Cam Thomas’ future in Milwaukee. Here are the highlights:

As you can see, 86% of respondents want to shut down Giannis for the remainder of the year, and 68% say they shouldn’t have activated him on March 2—when they were three games back of the 10 seed—in hindsight.
In spite of Giannis’ reported desire to play again this season, most fans polled (61%) think holding him out won’t have any impact on his extension chances this offseason.
62% want to retain Thomas next year, but 72% would only do so on a minimum.
The Bucks’ first-round pick is all but guaranteed to fall in the lottery for the first time since 2016, but that doesn’t mean our voters are paying more attention to the NCAA Tournament, with 80% saying their interest hasn’t changed on account of the Bucks.
