Overview

• The Bucks agreed to a two-way contract with Alex Antetokounmpo, joining Giannis and Thanasis in a league-first trio of brothers on the same active roster, according to ESPN’s Shams Charania.
• Two-way terms allow Alex to split time with the NBA club and the Wisconsin Herd, and USA TODAY reported Milwaukee waived Jamaree Bouyea and Cormac Ryan in corresponding moves.
• After reports of an August discussion with the Knicks, multiple teams checked on Giannis’ availability, but the Bucks responded that they were not open to negotiations, per ESPN’s Brian Windhorst summarizing Charania’s reporting.
• Analysts say New York’s draft and salary constraints complicate any immediate pursuit, and proposed multi-team or mock packages circulating publicly remain speculative.
• Giannis has said he is focused on the season and wants a title opportunity, while Milwaukee believes a reworked roster featuring Myles Turner can contend in an East weakened by injuries to rival stars.
