Bucks Sign Alex Antetokounmpo to Two-Way Deal, Putting Three Brothers on Roster

Insiders say the family-focused move is about comfort, not a guarantee of Giannis’s long‑term commitment.

Overview

  • Alex Antetokounmpo agreed to a two-way contract with Milwaukee, joining Giannis and Thanasis in what multiple outlets report is the NBA’s first trio of brothers on the same active roster.
  • Thanasis returned earlier this offseason on a one-year, fully guaranteed $2.9 million deal, reinforcing the Bucks’ family-first approach around their franchise star.
  • ESPN’s Shams Charania reports the signing is not expected to influence Giannis’s eventual decision on his future, which he is expected to base on team performance with one year left after this season.
  • The Bucks waived guard Jamaree Bouyea to create space for Alex’s deal, according to recent reporting.
  • Kostas Antetokounmpo remains with Olympiacos in Greece and has been reported as ineligible for a two-way NBA contract, while Alex’s résumé includes overseas stops and G League averages near 5 points and 3 rebounds.
