Although his brother receives way more attention, Thanasis Antetokounmpo has played in the NBA for several seasons now.

For the last several years, he has been playing alongside his brother Giannis but there is a chance the Milwaukee Bucks move Antetokounmpo to another team.

According to Bovada, via NBACentral, the New York Knicks have the best shot at landing him if he does get traded from the Bucks.

Their odds sit at +150, while the Brooklyn Nets are behind them with +250.

The Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Clippers, Portland Trail Blazers, and Utah Jazz all have odds of +550.

Antetokounmpo has a career average of just .8 points, .4 rebounds, and .5 assists per game and he doesn’t get much time on the floor.

This season, he is only on the court for 4.1 minutes per game.

If he does head to New York, he will once again play for his first team, as he suited up for the Knicks in 2015-16.

Following that, he spent a few years overseas before returning to the NBA and joining the Bucks.

It is interesting that the Knicks have the best shot at acquiring Antetokounmpo because they have long been linked to his brother.

During the most recent offseason, there was growing concern that Giannis could leave the Bucks.

He even made some public statements that suggested that was possible.

Around that time, many people agreed that the Knicks had the best shot of signing Giannis if he said goodbye to Milwaukee.

The Damian Lillard trade seemed to cement his loyalty to the Bucks, but would Giannis think of heading to New York in the future, especially if his beloved brother was there?

Bears Are Reportedly Doing ‘Serious Homework’ On 1 Coaching Candidate

Interim head coach Thomas Brown hasn’t won a game, leading most to believe there is little chance he gets any consideration to be the permanent replacement. With that in mind, the Bears reportedly are looking into other possible candidates. “The Bears are looking for a ‘leader of men’ for their opening at HC, and GM Ryan Poles has been doing ‘serious homework’ on [Miami] Dolphins DC Anthony Weaver, per Dianna Russini,” JPAFootball wrote on X.

(Photo by Sam Hodde/Getty Images)   Because of their history and roster, the Los Angeles Lakers are always aiming to reach the NBA Finals. However, that is obviously much easier said than done. This year, the betting markets believe they have a chance of competing for a championship, but it’s not a huge one. According to Polymarket, the Lakers have an eight percent shot of going to the Finals. Even with some smart acquisitions and Luka Doncic starting his first full season with the team, the Lakers still have their work cut out for them.

Standout Packers RB Gets Nominated For Notable NFL Award

(Photo by John Fisher/Getty Images)   The Green Bay Packers needed all hands on deck on Sunday. With Josh Jacobs out with a knee injury, someone would have to step up to lead the way against the Minnesota Vikings. Fortunately for them, backup RB Emanuel Wilson was more than up to the task. That’s why, after his strong performance, it’s not much of a surprise to see him being nominated for the FedEx Air and Ground Player of the Week: “Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12,” Kruse posted on X. #Packers RB Emanuel Wilson (125 total yards, 2 TDs) is a nominee for the FedEx Air and Ground Players of the Week award in Week 12. — Zach Kruse (@zachkruse2) November 24, 2025 Wilson was shifty and explosive out of the backfield.
