The Mavericks have waived forward Kostas Antetokounmpo, according to a team press release.
The brother of league Most Valuable Player Giannis Antetokounmpo had a two-way contract with the Mavs.
Daryl Macon holds the other two-way deal with Dallas. With Antetokounmpo out of the picture, Penn State alum and shooting guard Josh Reaves may have his contract converted a two-way deal. He agreed to sign an Exhibit 10 deal earlier this summer.
The 6’10” Antetokounmpo was chosen by the 76ers late in the second round of the 2018 draft. Dallas acquired him in a draft-night deal. He saw action in two games last season, making his NBA debut on March 20 in Portland.
“We are excited for Kostas to pursue other professional opportunities,” Mavs GM Donnie Nelson said in a statement. “Kostas worked very hard to improve his game and we are proud to have been a step in his development.”
Antetokounmpo played in five summer league games in Las Vegas this month, averaging 5.8 PPG and 2.8 RPG in 13.5 MPG.
The brothers are expected to play for Greece in the FIBA World Cup.

Reminds me of Ozzie Canseco. Last name doesn’t make you a star.
Wow. Ozzie Canseco reference. Now THERE was a complete waste of space. His brother turned into one too.
