UPDATE: The Milwaukee Bucks have just signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, confirming reports from Octagon managing director Alex Saratsis to ESPN’s Shams Charania earlier today. This landmark move unites all three Antetokounmpo brothers—Giannis, Thanasis, and now Alex—on the same NBA team, marking the first time in league history that three brothers have been on active roster contracts with one franchise.
The signing is particularly significant as Alex, the youngest brother, returns to the NBA after spending time playing in Europe since 2024 and previously in the G League after going undrafted in 2021. He showcased his talents with the Raptors 905 during the 2021-22 season and had a stint with the Bucks’ G League team from 2022-2024.
To make room for Alex, the Bucks have waived guard Jamaree Bouyea from a two-way contract. This strategic move reflects the team’s commitment to bolstering their roster with familial talent, further energizing the Bucks’ fan base.
The emotional significance of this signing cannot be overstated. Giannis recently led the Greek national team to a historic bronze medal at the 2025 EuroBasket tournament, an achievement he declared as his greatest accomplishment, alongside brothers Thanasis and Kostas. This family bond on the court is set to create an unprecedented dynamic in the NBA.
The Bucks are expected to leverage Alex’s skills as they prepare for the upcoming season, with fans eagerly anticipating the on-court chemistry among the Antetokounmpos. As Milwaukee aims for a championship run, the presence of all three brothers is sure to inspire both the team and its supporters.
As this story develops, basketball enthusiasts worldwide will be watching closely to see how the Bucks integrate Alex into their lineup and what this means for the future of the franchise. Stay tuned for more updates on this historic moment in NBA history.
