Aris Thessaloniki made headlines on Saturday by announcing the signing of forward Alex Antetokounmpo to a two-year deal.
Antetokounmpo (2.03 meters, 23 years old) is the youngest brother of NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and 2024 EuroLeague champion Kostas Antetokounmpo. Alex joins Aris after finishing last season with cross-town rival PAOK.
The move comes amid sweeping changes at Aris, following the acquisition of the club by the RHC Group, an investment fund led by Richard Hsiao, a close friend of the Antetokounmpo family. With new ownership and a fresh vision, Aris is aiming to restore its legacy as one of Greece’s most storied basketball institutions — a dynasty in the 1980s and still one of the country’s most beloved teams.
Antetokounmpo moved to Milwaukee with Giannis and was a standout high school player at Dominican High School in Wisconsin. He signed with UCAM Murcia in Spain in 2020 and later joined Raptors 905 in the G League before and spending two seasons with the Wisconsin Herd. In 2024, Antetokounmpo played briefly for Mazeikiai in Lithuania and KK Podgorica in Montenegro before returning to Greece with PAOK Thessaloniki.
