BREAKING: The Milwaukee Bucks have just announced the re-signing of forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo to a one-year deal worth $2.9 million. This critical move ensures that he will continue to be teammates with his brother, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo, as they prepare for the upcoming NBA season.
Thanasis, who missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, is currently competing with the Greek National Team at the ongoing EuroBasket tournament. His return is significant not only for the Bucks but also for the bond between the Antetokounmpo brothers, a dynamic duo that has energized fans in Milwaukee.
In the 2023-24 season, Thanasis played limited minutes in 34 games, averaging less than one point per game. However, his presence in the locker room and on the court is expected to bolster team morale and chemistry as the Bucks aim for another championship run.
Sources close to the team, including ESPN’s Shams Charania, indicate that the re-signing follows discussions between Bucks management and Giannis’ representatives, Giorgios Panou and Alex Saratsis, regarding future plans. With Giannis averaging an impressive 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists last season, the Bucks are looking to build on their successes and strengthen their roster.
Fans can expect to see Thanasis back in action soon, as the Bucks gear up for training camp. The combination of both Antetokounmpo brothers promises to bring a unique energy to the court that could make a significant impact this season.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Bucks finalize their lineup and prepare for the competitive NBA season ahead!
