Bucks Sign Alex Antetokounmpo, Making NBA History with Three Brothers

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The Milwaukee Bucks have signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, marking an unprecedented moment in NBA history. This deal allows the youngest Antetokounmpo brother to join his siblings, Giannis and Thanasis, on the Bucks’ active roster.

Alex, who is 24 years old, has been pursuing a professional basketball career since going undrafted in 2021. After playing for the Raptors 905 in the G League, he spent time playing in Europe and gained valuable experience in countries like Lithuania and Greece.

This historic signing not only attracts attention for its familial significance but also aligns with the Bucks’ strategy to strengthen their bond with Giannis Antetokounmpo amid ongoing trade speculation. NBA insider Shams Charania confirmed the signing, highlighting that the brothers will now collectively represent the franchise.

To make room for Alex, the Bucks have waived guard Jamaree Bouyea, although the team has not yet officially confirmed this move. Alex’s two-way contract allows him to split his playing time between the Bucks and their G League affiliate, Wisconsin Herd, providing him with professional growth opportunities.

Throughout the past year, Giannis has faced rumors about potential trades, particularly involving the New York Knicks. By adding another member of the Antetokounmpo family, the Bucks are sending a strong message of loyalty and commitment to their superstar.

The Bucks previously re-signed Thanasis for another year, who has been a supportive figure for Giannis and contributes to the family dynamic within the team. The Bucks are prioritizing family ties, providing a sense of stability for their key player.

The Bucks will kick off their 2025-26 NBA season at home on October 22 against the Washington Wizards. With three Antetokounmpos on the roster, the franchise’s dedication to Giannis and his family has become more evident.
