Free agent Thanasis Antetokounmpo has agreed on a deal to return to the Milwaukee Bucks, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.

Antetokounmpo chose to return to the Bucks over multiple options, including New York Knicks, Charania adds.

Brothers Giannis and Thanasis, Brook and Robin Lopez all reunited in Milwaukee for the next season.

Thanasis, 31, averaged 1.4 points and 1.2 rebounds over 37 games (5.6 minutes) last season.

Originally a second-round pick by New York in 2014, Antetokounmpo has averaged 2.7 points and 1.8 boards in 164 games (11 starts) with the Knicks (2016) and Bucks (2019-23).

Thanasis became the NBA champion in 2021.
