Alex Antetokounmpo Makes Bucks Debut, Seals First Three-Brother NBA Scoring Trio

Giannis, out with an injury, preserved the game ball to honor Alex’s rise from a two-way G League deal.

Overview

  • The Bucks beat the Mavericks 123-99 at Fiserv Forum in a Tuesday win that featured Alex Antetokounmpo’s first NBA minutes.
  • The 24-year-old scored three points, all on free throws, in three minutes off the bench.
  • With those points, Alex joined Giannis and Thanasis to become the NBA’s first trio of brothers on the same active roster who have each scored.
  • Sidelined by injury, Giannis retrieved the ball used for Alex’s first points and joked, “I can retire now,” as coach Doc Rivers said Giannis was nervous for his brother.
  • Alex signed a two-way deal in October 2025 and spent most of the season with the Wisconsin Herd, underscoring how the G League can funnel players into late-season NBA roles.
