Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Brother Leaves USA After Ending 7-Year NBA Career as Champion
The 34-year-old forward returns home after six seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks, while Aris adds two former NBA players and the Antetokounmpo brothers.
- Aris B.C. of the Greek Basketball League announced on Tuesday that Thanasis Antetokounmpo has signed a two-year deal with the club that includes a team option for a third season, marking his return to Greece for the 2026-27 season.
- After spending six of the past seven years with the Milwaukee Bucks alongside his brother, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Thanasis returns home to Athens. The native previously played for Filathlitikos and Panathinaikos, winning domestic championships in 2018 and 2019.
- Aris is bolstering its roster with former NBA players Khem Birch, Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, and E.J. Liddell. His younger brother Kostas Antetokounmpo also signed with the club earlier this offseason, reuniting the siblings in Greece.
- Miami Heat President Pat Riley has shifted the team's roster philosophy since acquiring Giannis, focusing resources on immediate contributors. ESPN's Ramona Shelburne reported in June that "I don't think that's going to continue" regarding the brothers playing together in Miami.
- While Giannis begins a new championship chase in Miami, Thanasis and Kostas are starting theirs together in Greece. The move settles questions about whether the Heat would replicate Milwaukee's family-centric roster arrangement.
