Bucks Re-Sign Thanasis Antetokounmpo to $2.9 Million Deal
BREAKING: The Milwaukee Bucks have just announced the re-signing of forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo on a one-year deal worth $2.9 million. This crucial development ensures that Thanasis will continue as a teammate of his brother, two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo.
This decision comes after Thanasis missed the entire 2024-25 season due to a torn Achilles tendon, raising questions about his future with the team. The deal was confirmed by the Bucks on Sunday, highlighting the franchise’s commitment to family ties and teamwork.
During the 2023-24 season, Thanasis averaged less than a point per game while participating in just 34 games off the bench. However, he is currently competing with the Greek National Team at EuroBasket, showcasing his determination to return stronger.
Sources indicate that discussions about future plans between Giannis Antetokounmpo’s representatives, Giorgios Panou and Alex Saratsis, were anticipated during the offseason. Giannis has dedicated all 12 seasons of his NBA career to the Bucks, averaging an impressive 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists per game last season.
The re-signing of Thanasis not only strengthens the Bucks’ roster but also adds an emotional layer, as it cements the brotherly bond on the court. Fans are eager to see how this move impacts the team’s dynamics as they prepare for the upcoming season.
