Thanasis Antetokounmpo is back with the Bucks, agreeing to a guaranteed one-year, $2.9 million deal. He’s been with Milwaukee since 2019, and while his on-court role is limited, his presence carries weight — especially with his younger brother, Giannis.
This move comes after Giannis explored his options during the summer, sparking speculation about his long-term future. With Thanasis back and the Bucks retooling around new signings like Myles Turner and Gary Harris, could this push Giannis to stay put and sign another massive extension rather than eyeing a trade?
Milwaukee has shown loyalty to the Antetokounmpo family before, and bringing Thanasis back could be another chess move to keep their two-time MVP happy. The bigger question: will it be enough to lock in Giannis for the long haul?
