Milwaukee Bucks Re-sign Forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo for Fifth Season
Milwaukee, WI – The Milwaukee Bucks have announced the re-signing of forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo for his fifth season with the team. Antetokounmpo, who had a career-low shooting percentage of 43.5% last season, played in 37 games and is looking to bounce back in the upcoming season.
Antetokounmpo has been an integral part of the Bucks’ roster, playing a total of 162 games over the past four seasons, with 11 starts. Although he averages about 8.4 minutes per game, 2.7 points, and 1.8 rebounds, his versatility and defensive abilities have contributed significantly to the team’s success.
In an effort to improve his game, Antetokounmpo will be representing the Greek national team in the World Cup next month. This opportunity will allow him to gain valuable experience on the international stage and further develop his skills.
This upcoming season will mark Antetokounmpo’s sixth in the NBA, as he was originally drafted by the New York Knicks in 2014. Following his draft, he played in the developmental league before making his NBA debut in the 2015-16 season. He then spent three seasons playing in Europe before joining his brother, Giannis Antetokounmpo, in Milwaukee.
With Antetokounmpo’s re-signing, the Bucks now have the maximum 15 guaranteed contracts on their roster. This demonstrates the team’s commitment to building a strong and versatile lineup capable of contending for the NBA championship.
As the new season approaches, Bucks fans eagerly anticipate the impact Antetokounmpo will make on the court.
