UPDATE: The Milwaukee Bucks have officially signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, marking a groundbreaking moment in NBA history. This announcement was made today by Octagon managing director Alex Saratsis to ESPN’s Shams Charania. With this signing, Alex joins his older brothers, Giannis and Thanasis, on the Bucks’ roster, making them the first trio of brothers to be signed on active contracts with the same team in NBA history.
This landmark signing comes as Alex returns to the NBA after playing in Europe since 2024. Previously, he went undrafted in 2021 and played for the Raptors 905 in the G League during the 2021-22 season. He also had a stint with Milwaukee’s G League squad from 2022-2024. The Bucks have made room for Alex by waiving guard Jamaree Bouyea from a two-way contract, ensuring that the Antetokounmpo brothers can unite in Milwaukee.
This summer, Giannis led the Greek national team to a bronze medal in the 2025 EuroBasket tournament, an achievement he described as his greatest accomplishment. Joining him on that team were both Thanasis and Kostas, underscoring the family’s deep ties to basketball on an international stage.
The significance of this signing extends beyond the court. It resonates with fans and players alike, celebrating family and unity in sports. As the Bucks prepare for the upcoming season, the presence of all three Antetokounmpo brothers is expected to energize the team and its fanbase.
As developments unfold, all eyes will be on the Bucks as they integrate Alex into their lineup. Will this monumental move impact their performance in the upcoming season? Stay tuned for more updates as the Bucks gear up for what promises to be an exciting year ahead.
