UPDATE: The Milwaukee Bucks have just announced the signing of Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, marking a historic moment in the NBA. This move unites all three Antetokounmpo brothers, Giannis and Thanasis, on the same team for the first time in league history.
The announcement was made by Octagon managing director Alex Saratsis to ESPN’s Shams Charania earlier today, October 2, 2023. This unprecedented signing emphasizes the Bucks’ commitment to family and legacy in professional basketball.
Alex, the youngest of the Antetokounmpo brothers, has been honing his skills in Europe since 2024 after going undrafted in 2021. He previously played for the Raptors 905 in the G League during the 2021-22 season and spent time with Milwaukee’s G League affiliate from 2022 to 2024.
To make room for Alex, the Bucks have waived guard Jamaree Bouyea from his two-way contract, a strategic move that highlights the team’s focus on family ties and athletic potential.
This summer, Giannis led the Greek national team to a bronze medal victory at the 2025 EuroBasket tournament, a moment he described as his greatest achievement. Remarkably, both Thanasis and Kostas were part of that team, showcasing the Antetokounmpo family’s influence on the sport.
The signing not only creates a unique narrative for the Bucks but also adds emotional depth to the team’s dynamics. Fans can look forward to seeing the brothers play together, a scenario that has sparked excitement across the NBA community.
As the Bucks prepare for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on how this historic trio performs together on the court. The implications of this signing extend beyond the team, signaling a significant moment in sports history that fans will not want to miss.
Stay tuned for more updates as the Milwaukee Bucks gear up for what promises to be a thrilling season filled with family ties and historic milestones.
