After a three-year stint in the G League, Alex Antetokounmpo, the brother of Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, is moving to play in Lithuania.

According to Lukas Malinauskas from BasketNews, the youngest of the four Antetokounmpo brothers will play for M Basket-Delamode Mazeikiai in the Lithuanian Basketball League (LKL).

The club officially confirmed the information Wednesday morning.

Antetokounmpo last played for the Wisconsin Herd in the G League, averaging 5.7 points and 2.9 rebounds per game in 21.2 minutes of playing time. He was waived by the organization on February 8th.

The general manager of M Basket, Rolandas Jarutis, has been pursuing the 22-year-old Alex for several years now, Malinauskas notes, including the years when the former basketball player was the head of Rytas Vilnius, a club that plays in the Basketball Champions League (BCL).

The club from Mazeikiai is currently 6th in the LKL with 7 wins and 10 losses.
