Milwaukee Bucks Re-sign Thanasis Antetokounmpo After Achilles Injury

Thanasis Antetokounmpo is officially returning to the Milwaukee Bucks on a guaranteed one-year, $2.9 million contract after missing the 2024-25 NBA season recovering from a torn Achilles tendon. He last played for the Bucks in the 2023-24 season, appearing in 34 games before his injury and has been active with the Greek National Basketball Team at EuroBasket 2025. The move was confirmed by Thanasis via social media and later by ESPN's Shams Charania, highlighting that Giannis Antetokounmpo will also remain with the Bucks for the upcoming season. Thanasis’ return will require Milwaukee to make roster adjustments, likely involving the waiving of partially guaranteed contracts such as Andre Jackson Jr., to open a spot on the 15-man roster. Known for his energy and versatility, Thanasis brings valuable depth to the Bucks, contributing both offensively and defensively, and was part of Milwaukee’s 2021 NBA championship team. His reunion with the Bucks is seen as a positive addition to the team's bench strength and overall competitiveness.
