Bucks Sign Alex Antetokounmpo Two-Way, Form Historic Giannis Trio

The Bucks signed Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-way contract, putting him on the same roster as brothers Giannis and Thanasis — “the first time in NBA history that one team has had three brothers under contract,” per Shams Charania. Alex, 24, played 50 games for the Wisconsin Herd (5.8 points, three rebounds per game); the move is small on-court but significant in signaling the front office’s effort to keep Giannis comfortable after another early playoff exit. Merlin sees this as a quiet charm rather than a roster-altering spell: family ties likely motivated the signing, and Alex will mostly ply his trade in the G League. It won’t cure core roster needs, but small gestures can matter to a superstar weighing his future — useful insurance, not a guarantee.
