Later, ESPN senior insider Shams Charania reported that Thanasis has signed a one-year, fully guaranteed contract worth $2.9 million.
In his first official games since being medically cleared, the Athens native has played a crucial role in helping Greece achieve three consecutive victories in Group C of the EuroBasket preliminary round, averaging 3.3 points, 2.7 rebounds, 1.3 steals, 1.0 assists, and 0.3 blocks per game. His statistics reflect his contributions at both ends of the court, bringing his distinctive energy to Greece’s aspirations for success in the international tournament.
Previously part of the Bucks from 2019 to 2024, where he celebrated an NBA championship in 2021, the skilled and versatile forward now reunites with his brother Giannis, the team’s star player.
