Milwaukee Bucks star player Thanasis Antetokounmpo is set to undergo surgery to repair a torn Achilles tendon. This news was announced by Shams Charania of The Athletic. According to the report, the injury occurred during a workout this week and will prevent Antetokounmpo from participating in the upcoming summer games with the Greek national team as they try to qualify for the Olympics.
Despite being Giannis’ brother, Thanos has been an important member of the Bucks team for five years and played 34 games this season. His absence will be felt particularly in light of his impressive performance last year when Giannis did not play for the Greek team. However, his injury has raised questions about his future with the Bucks, particularly given that he has signed several one-year contracts to remain with the team.
The Bucks may need to reconsider their approach in light of Thanos’ injury, which means he is likely to miss most, if not all, of the next NBA season. This raises concerns about their ability to compete at a high level without him on board. As such, it remains to be seen what impact his absence will have on their chances of winning another championship title.
