Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the older brother of new Miami Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, signed a three-year deal with Greek side Aris BC.<\/p>\n
The final year is a team option, the club announced.<\/p>\n
The 34-year-old Thanasis played in 230 games over the last seven seasons alongside Giannis on the Milwaukee Bucks. After missing the 2024-25 campaign with a torn Achilles, he appeared in 34 games for Milwaukee last season but averaged just 4.4 minutes – the lowest mark of any Bucks player who appeared in at least 10 games in 2025-26.<\/p>\n
Giannis was the first Antetokounmpo to depart Milwaukee this summer when he was traded to the Miami Heat in June. His youngest brother, Alex Antetokounmpo, joined the Bucks on a two-way deal in 2025-26 but signed a contract for 2026-27 with Greece’s Promitheas Patras.<\/p>\n
Aris is based in Thessaloniki and finished fifth in the Greek Basket League in 2025-26. The team competed in the EuroCup last season but did not advance past the group stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the older brother of new Miami Heat forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, signed a three-year deal with Greek…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":833424,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[355,99],"class_list":["post-833423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-nba","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=833423"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/833423\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/833424"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=833423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=833423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=833423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
