Milt Newton has emerged as a candidate to become general manager of the Chicago Bulls.

The Bulls are searching for a general manager under Arturas Karnisovas.

Newton is currently assistant general manager of the Milwaukee Bucks. Newton was previously general manager of the Minnesota Timberwolves after an extended tenure with the Washington Wizards. 

Marc Eversley, Mark Hughes, Matt Lloyd and Michael Finley have previously been linked with the job.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is spending time in his Wisconsin home cooking, cleaning, spending time with family and working out, but he doesn't have access to a basketball hoop during the stay-at-home order.

"So, I don't have access to hoop," Antetokounmpo said during a conference call Friday. "A lot of NBA players have a court in their house or something, but now I just get home workouts. Ride the bike, treadmill, lift weights and pretty much stay sharp that way, but I don't play basketball."

Khris Middleton also doesn't have access to a hoop.

"Since the practice facility is closed down, I don't have any access to a basketball goal unless I go to one of my neighbors' house to shoot outside," Middleton said. "It's really no basketball for me. Basically, like Giannis said, it's the treadmill, the jump rope, some weights and that's it. I have a couple of basketballs I can just dribble in my house or outside but no actual goal to go shoot on."

Mike Budenholzer said that the Milwaukee Bucks are going about their business with the mentality that the season will continue.

The Bucks currently hold the best record in the NBA.

"We are operating and functioning and just have a mentality that we will play. I think it's important for players and all of us to function that way, to think that way, and it's out of our hands," said Budenholzer.

Bucks players are currently relying on in-home exercises to keep their shape, though the team also sees value in a mental break.

General manager Jon Horst echoed Budenholzer's sentiments.

"A lot of people find it hard to believe, but we actually live and believe it every day," said Horst. "We've taken a focus to get better every single day and to literally just focus on getting better every day, not thinking about championships or Finals or opponents that we're going to play weeks out or months out, but to really think about how to improve every day."
