This is the first time in NBA history when three brothers will play in the same franchise

The Milwaukee Bucks have made NBA history, signing Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract.

“The Milwaukee Bucks are signing Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way NBA deal, joining older brothers Giannis and Thanasis,” agent Alex Saratsis told ESPN, as reported by insider Shams Charania. “This marks the first time in NBA history that three brothers are on active roster contracts with the same team.”

The move comes as speculation continues to swirl around Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future in Milwaukee, with ongoing trade rumors — including links to the New York Knicks — dominating headlines. But the Bucks’ latest signing is a clear signal of their commitment to keeping the Antetokounmpo family at the heart of the franchise.

Alex, 24, has been steadily working to carve out his own path in professional basketball. The 6-foot-8 forward, who attended Dominican High School in Milwaukee’s Whitefish Bay, has spent recent years playing across multiple leagues — including stints in the G League with Toronto and Milwaukee affiliates, as well as professional stops in Lithuania, Montenegro, and Greece.
