Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo suffered a torn Achilles and will need surgery, The Athletic reported Wednesday night.
The news comes less than a week after the conclusion of Milwaukee’s season, as the Bucks fell to the Indiana Pacers in six games in an Eastern Conference first-round playoff series. Antetokounmpo appeared in two postseason games, totaling five minutes.
Antetokounmpo, 31, the brother of Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo, averaged only 4.6 minutes across 34 regular-season games in 2023-24. He posted 0.9 points per contest.
In 198 career games (11 starts), Thanasis Antetokounmpo has averaged 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds with the New York Knicks (2015-16) and Bucks (2019-24).
