Bucks Add Alex Antetokounmpo on Two-Way Deal, Form NBA’s First Three-Brother Roster

The family-focused addition coincides with Giannis Antetokounmpo signaling uncertainty about his long-term future in Milwaukee.

Overview

  • Milwaukee signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, joining Giannis and Thanasis and marking the first time three brothers hold active roster deals on the same NBA team.
  • To create the two-way slot for Alex, the Bucks waived guard Jamaree Bouyea, finalizing the unprecedented roster configuration.
  • Thanasis Antetokounmpo returned on a one-year, fully guaranteed deal earlier this offseason, reinforcing the club’s family-centric approach.
  • Giannis said he will begin the 2025–26 season with the Bucks but keeps his long-term plans open, reiterating a desire to finish his playing career in Greece; he is under contract through 2026–27 with a 2027–28 player option.
  • ESPN’s Shams Charania reported the signings aim to make Giannis comfortable yet are unlikely to decide his future, while some commentators cautioned about potential locker-room perceptions; Kostas Antetokounmpo remains with Olympiacos and is not eligible for a two-way deal.
