Thanasis Antetokounmpo Makes Major Career Decision After Giannis’ Move to Heat
Thanasis Antetokounmpo has found a new team following his seven-year stint alongside his brother Giannis with the Milwaukee Bucks.
Thanasis Antetokounmpo, brother of NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo, has decided to end his NBA career ahead of the 2026-27 season. He has signed a three-year contract with Greek club ARIS Thessaloniki, as reported by Eurohoops. The deal includes two seasons and a club option for the third year. Over his seven seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, Thanasis played primarily as a bench player alongside his brother.
However, Giannis' recent trade to the Miami Heat marks a new chapter in his NBA career. Though Thanasis won't be playing with Giannis anymore, he'll be reunited with their other brother, Kostas, as teammates for ARIS Thessaloniki. Thanasis acknowledged that Giannis' move to Miami was difficult for him, as he was unaware of the trade. He admitted that the situation is both hard and exciting at the same time.
