Returning with a torn Achilles tendon! What does Antetokounmpo return mean to the Bucks?
11:49pm, 1 September 2025【Basketball】
The Bucks, there is another operation.
Reported from famous reporter Shams, Antetokounmpo's brother, Sanassis Antetokounmpo, signed a fully guaranteed one-year, $2.9 million basic salary contract with Milwaukee. After completing the signing, Sanassis Antetokounmpo announced on social media: I 'm back (I'm back). The official
Bucks also posted the pictures and wrote: Vibes about to be immaculate (the game atmosphere will become flawless).
Of course, this signing has a deeper meaning - Shams said that this means that after a summer of choice and exploration, Antetokounmpo will stay in Milwaukee to start the new season. In other words, at least this summer, Antetokounmpo will not leave the Bucks.

Back to Antetokounmpo (hereinafter referred to as Antetokounmpo), he is not a new face for the Bucks, because from 2019 to 2024, Antetokounmpo all played for the Bucks.
In the five years of the Bucks' career, Antetokounmpo's performance: he played in a total of 196 games, averaged only 7.7 minutes per game, scored 2.4 points, 1.6 rebounds and 0.6 assists, and shot a 50.6% shooting percentage.

Among them, the 2021-22 season was the "peak" of Antetokounmpo. In that season, he averaged 9.9 minutes of playing time, scored 3.6 points, 2.1 rebounds and 0.5 assists, and shot a 54.7% shooting percentage.
Also in the final game of the regular season this season, the Bucks have secured the playoffs, and all the main players have rested. Then Antetokounmpo played the best game of his career, playing 9 of 14 shots, scoring 27 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

Brother Antetokounmpo is 1.98 meters tall and plays as a striker. His advantage is that he is strong and motivated. His disadvantage is that he lacks talent at the same position, and he does not have shooting and offensive skills. He even has a very poor grasp of free throws, with only 52.9% of his career.
The key point is that Antetokounmpo's ball quotient is not high, and it is the case on both offense and defense, so five major embarrassing pictures often appear.

What I have to say, Antetokounmpo's biggest advantage is actually not the physical or any factors related to himself, but the identity of Antetokounmpo's brother. The reason why the Bucks repeatedly gave him basic salary is because Antetokounmpo, in layman's terms, is a relationship household.
Many people may sneer at this, but from another perspective, the Bucks only spent a basic salary price and bought the star to be happy, and it was equivalent to asking Antetokounmpo for a special emotional assistant, which is something that no other 15th person can do.

Lillard had previously said: "(Antes Brother) is tall, strong, and very athletic. I see some people think they are more talented or capable than him, but these people can never take his place."
In addition, Jeff Teague also talked about the importance of Antes Brother to Antes Brother: "(2021 Finals) When she fell 0-2, Antes Brother He got the new crown, so he couldn't get on the plane. That's why we were behind 0-2. Giannis completely collapsed at that time. He had an unusual connection with his brother. "

It is worth mentioning that the letter brothers not only teamed with the Bucks, but also selected the national team. The letter brothers Costas Antetokounmpo, who had played for the Mavericks and the Lakers.
Currently, the three brothers of Alphabet are representing the Greek men's basketball team together in the European Championships, and the Greek men's basketball team has won 3 wins and 0 losses in the group stage so far. Antetokounmpo can average 29.0 points, Antetokounmpo's brother 3.3 points, and Antetokounmpo's brother 0.7 points.

Back in the NBA, careful fans should notice that Antetokounmpo did not play for the Bucks last season because he suffered a torn Achilles tendon in May last year, so the Bucks did not give him a contract.
At the age of 33, he has suffered a torn Achilles tendon and has not shot. He has been a marginal substitute so far. Objectively speaking, Antetokounmpo is really useless. The Bucks’ intention to sign him is very obvious, just to leave Antetokounmpo.
In fact, all the operations the Bucks do this summer are to leave Antetokounmpo, including buying out Lillard's remaining contract of over 100 million, signing Miles Turner, and giving multiple cabbage contracts - the operation is very sharp, and judging from the results, the purpose should be achieved.

A historical player who is at its peak is indeed worth the Bucks doing this. After all, looking at the entire league, there are very few people who can be at the same level as Antetokounmpo, probably only Jokic, Doncic and Alexander. In order to leave Antetokounmpo, I signed Antetokounmpo with a basic salary. Even if one quota is missing, I personally think it is still worth it.
As for the human relationship, how to say it, there are rivers and lakes where there are people, and human relationship accidents are indispensable in places where there are rivers and lakes. I believe everyone has some experience in life. In fact, the same is true for the NBA. The example of Antetokounmpo fully illustrates one thing: it is so important to have an excellent younger brother.
