While not named specifically in her reporting, Ramona Shelburne of ESPN suggested that trainer Drew Hanlen is now working with Giannis Antetokounmpo. Hanlen is one of the most well-known skills coaches and has worked with the likes of Jayson Tatum, Joel Embiid and Tyrese Haliburton.
Hanlen flew to Boston from Athens ahead of the Celtics' series clinching win on Monday.
"Fun detail from today’s story: Jayson Tatum’s longtime trainer Drew Hanlen had been in Greece training a “new client” for most of the Finals. I’ll let you guess who that might be…he flew from Athens to Boston Monday morning to make Game 5," writes Shelburne.
Antetokounmpo's 23-24 season was cut short due to a calf injury.
