Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo, older brother of star teammate Giannis Antetokounmpo, will undergo surgery for a torn Achilles tendon. Details are yet to emerge about how the 31-year-old native of Greece sustained the injury. The injury leaves Thanasis' future with the Bucks in jeopardy as he enters free agency this summer.
Achilles tears typically require roughly a calendar year to get back on the court, which means Antetokounmpo could realistically miss the entire 2024-25 season. Whether a member of the Bucks next season or not, Thanasis will certainly continue to have a close relationship with his younger brother, Giannis.
