Milwaukee Bucks Set NBA Milestone
According to Shams Charania, Alex Antetokounmpo will take one of the Bucks’ two-way slots. His signing is the first time three brothers are actively contracted to the same NBA team. The Antetokounmpo brothers are joining the history of sibling trios in the NBA, alongside the Ball and Holiday brothers.
Antetokounmpo Family Legacy
The Antetokounmpo brothers are known for their strong presence on the court. Previously, Kostas Antetokounmpo played for the Los Angeles Lakers alongside his brothers. However, the Bucks are the first to have three brothers on their roster simultaneously. Giannis’ position in Milwaukee, amid trade rumors, appears more secure with his brothers’ presence.
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Future
Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Bucks has been uncertain after another early playoff exit. Discussions with the New York Knicks occurred but did not progress. The addition of Thanasis and now Alex reinforces Giannis’ likelihood of remaining with Milwaukee for the 2025-2026 season.
Alex Antetokounmpo’s Career Path
- Started professional career in Spain with Murcia (2020)
- Joined NBA G League in 2021 with Raptors 905
- Moved to Wisconsin Herd, Bucks’ affiliate team
In the G League, Alex made 65 regular-season appearances, averaging 5.0 points and 2.6 rebounds in 18.7 minutes per game. He has returned to the United States after playing in Europe for teams like Mažeikiai and Podgorica.
Impact of the Roster Change
The Bucks’ decision to bring in Alex Antetokounmpo signals a commitment to family and team dynamics. As a 24-year-old forward, Alex is poised to continue developing his skills in the G League with the Wisconsin Herd. His two-way deal means he could split time between the Bucks and Herd, allowing for flexible growth.
Fans and analysts will watch closely as the Bucks navigate their NBA season, fortified by the Antetokounmpo brothers and their collective potential.
