NBA: The Milwaukee Bucks made the decision to once again use one of their 15 roster spots on Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the older brother of Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP and one of the 75 Greatest Players in NBA history. Bucks fans are split on Thanasis, with some holding the opinion that the team is wasting a roster space while others think his being on the team helps keep Giannis happy, and are therefore comfortable with the decision.
Regardless, no 15th player on any NBA roster is going to see many minutes outside of garbage time at the end of games. However, the Bucks may be looking for a new 15th man soon.
Milwaukee Bucks Forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo Injured His Hip Playing for Greece (NBA)
According to Harris Stavrou, who covers the Greek National Team, Thanasis suffered a hip injury in Greece’s game against the United States and needs a MRI. The severity of the injury is not yet known:
It’s 1:06 am here in Manila and Thanasis Antetokounmpo is undergoing an MRI after he felt a discomfort on his left adductor in Greece’s game against USA.

Of course, Greece is already without their star player, Giannis, who was unable to participate due to offseason surgery on his knee. While the Greek Freak will be ready for training camp and the regular season, his older brother may not be.
If he is not, a spot just opened up on the Bucks’ roster.
