The Bucks waived forward Alex Antetokounmpo on Saturday shortly after signing him to a contract, according to the official transaction log at NBA.com.
Antetokounmpo, the brother of Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, went undrafted in 2021 and spent last season coming off the bench and playing limited minutes for the Raptors 905, Toronto’s G League affiliate. He previously played for UCAM Murcia in Spain during the 2020/21 season.
Only Antetokounmpo’s release – not his signing – shows up on NBA.com’s transaction log, which strongly suggests he received an Exhibit 10 contract, since Exhibit 10 signings aren’t listed on NBA.com’s log. An Exhibit 10 deal would make him eligible for a bonus worth up to $50K if he spends at least 60 days with the Wisconsin Herd, the Bucks’ G League affiliate.
Because Antetokounmpo played for the Raptors 905 last season, they would typically hold his returning rights, but they traded those rights to the Herd in July, paving the way for the 21-year-old to play in Wisconsin in 2022/23.
Antetokounmpo is the second player to be signed and quickly waived by the Bucks in the last week, as they begin lining up players for the Herd’s roster. Rob Edwards was the other one.

Nepotism is alive and well in Milwaukee!
He got waived. How is that nepotism? Learn English before you post next time.
Do you really think the Bucks would have Alex in their organization if he wasn’t related to Giannis? Why do you think teams sign & waive players? Or do you just not know what the word nepotism means? Reading comprehension & basic understanding of the NBA is hard for you, I get it.
He played for Toronto’s G-League team last season. Is he related to anyone there?
yeah!!! all that nepotism with him playing for their g-league team after playing in the g-league last year.
Is it worse than teams scrambling to sign his brothers prior to his pending free agency in a desperate attempt to lure him away from MKE?
Or half the Lakers roster being clients of LeBron’s agent/agency?
Or star players lobbying their respective management to sign all their buddies?
Rule number 1 in Milwaukee: DO NOT PISS OFF THE FREAK
Lesson number two. Don’t get high on your own supply

If they find one more brother they can have their own team
Actually there is 1 more brother. Well, adopted brother. Anyway, his name is Fred. Unfortunately for Fred, he’s 5’6 and blind.
MKE will probably sign and waive him too though, just to be fair.
