MILWAUKEE (AP) — Thanasis Antetokounmpo is back with the Milwaukee Bucks after sitting out a season to recover from a torn Achilles tendon.

Antetokounmpo, the older brother of two-time MVP and Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, played for Milwaukee from 2019-24. He was off the Bucks’ roster last season while dealing with his injury.

The Bucks announced Sunday they had re-signed the 33-year-old forward, who currently is playing for Greece in EuroBasket.

Antetokounmpo appeared in 34 games for the Bucks in 2023-24. He has career averages of 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 7.7 minutes in 198 regular-season games.

He played two games for the New York Knicks in 2015-16, but all his other NBA appearances have come with Milwaukee.
