Alex Antetokounmpo Signs Two-Way Deal with Bucks, Making NBA History Alongside Brothers Giannis and Thanasis

Alex Antetokounmpo has signed a two-way contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, making NBA history as he joins brothers Giannis and Thanasis on the same roster—the first time three siblings have played for one team. The youngest Antetokounmpo brother, Alex, previously played two seasons with the Wisconsin Herd (2022-2024), averaging 5.8 points and 3 rebounds in 50 games, and also had stints with the Raptors 905 and in European leagues like Greece, Montenegro, and Lithuania, where he averaged 1.2 points and 1.1 rebounds with PAOK last season. This signing is widely perceived as a strategic move to ensure the happiness of two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, who averaged 30.4 points and 11.9 rebounds last season and has been the subject of trade rumors. Giannis has affirmed his commitment to Milwaukee, and having his brothers nearby is expected to contribute to his satisfaction as he enters his 13th NBA season. Alex is anticipated to spend time with the Wisconsin Herd this year, while Thanasis recently returned on a one-year, $2.9 million deal after an Achilles injury.
