On Thursday evening, the Milwaukee Bucks had their season come to an end when they lost to the Indiana Pacers by a score of 120-98 in Game 6 of their first-round playoff series.
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo got injured at the end of the season and was unable to appear in the series (he missed the team’s final nine games).
Antetokounmpo also dealt with injuries last year, so this is the second straight season the Bucks have lost in the first round.
On Friday, NBA Alerts (an account that monitors social media activity around the league) reported that Antetokounmpo unfollowed former Bucks fan-favorite Brandon Jennings.

Jennings spent the first four seasons of his career with the Bucks (before Antetokounmpo was drafted).
He also returned for a second stint with the franchise (in 2017-18) and was briefly a teammate of Antetokounmpo.
In addition to the Bucks, Jennings also spent time with the Detroit Pistons, New York Knicks, Orlando Magic and Washington Wizards.
