The Chicago Bulls and Giannis Antetokounmpo are the third-ranked 24-year-old brother, Costas Antetokounmpo, according to Sham Charania of The Athletic. Signed to a training camp contract, he will have the opportunity to compete for a two-way spot on the Bulls' roster this coming season.


Antetokounmpo Kostas was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 60th overall pick in 2018 and was traded to the Dallas Mavericks, though he was mostly assigned to the G League affiliate Texas Legends Play in the Development League. In 2019, he won a contract with the Los Angeles Lakers , but he only played in 20 games, played no more than 4 minutes, and averaged 1.4 points and 1.3 rebounds per game.
