Thanasis Antetokounmpo Announces Epic Comeback After Achilles Injury: ‘I’m Back, I’m Back!’ Will He Return to the Bucks?
Milwaukee Bucks fans are likely relieved to hear Giannis Antetokounmpo express his commitment to the team amid speculation about his future. However, this time, it’s his older brother, Thanasis Antetokounmpo, making headlines, and for good reason. During a live taping of his “Thanalysis Show” podcast at Potawatomi Hotel & Casino, Thanasis joyfully declared, “I’m back, I’m back,” signaling his return to basketball after a challenging year. The announcement comes after doctors cleared him to resume his career following a torn Achilles that sidelined him for the 2024-25 season.
While the return to the court is exciting, Thanasis’ future with the Bucks remains uncertain. After five seasons with Milwaukee from 2019 to 2024, he is now a free agent, having not renewed his contract when it expired last summer. In a podcast episode filmed in March and released recently, Thanasis discussed his recovery journey and the immense support he’s received over the past year. He remains focused on his goal: making a comeback to the NBA.
The podcast episode also shed light on Thanasis’ emotional recovery, as he was joined by his brother Giannis, Bucks players like Brook Lopez and Kyle Kuzma, along with his twin brother Robin and fan favorite Brandon Jennings. As Thanasis looks to rejoin the league, his determination and the support of his family and teammates reflect his unwavering commitment to returning to the NBA.
