On the eve of the NBA resumption, the Milwaukee Bucks, one of the big favorites for the title, secured their star Giannis Antetokounmpo this Monday for three more years. Initially under contract until 2026, with a player option for the 2025-26 financial year, the “Greek Freak” said yes to a three-year extension at $186 million (174.1 million euros) until 2028, with a player option for the final year. Information relayed by ESPN.

Author of a 2022-23 season with 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists, Giannis Antetokounmpo, 28, is part of the top 5 best players in the NBA. Chosen in 15th position in the 2013 Draft by the Wisconsin club, he has already won several individual distinctions such as the title of MVP (best player) in 2019 and 2020, the trophy for best defender in 2020, and that of MIP (best progression ), in 2017.
Additionally, he received seven invitations to the All Star Game (2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023). The Greek had put pressure on his franchise this summer by saying he wanted to stay as long as his team was competitive. The answer came with Damian Lillard (ex-Portland), even if the Bucks had to part ways with Jrue Holiday, a key player in their defense. The NBA season begins this Tuesday. The Bucks host the Philadelphia Sixers led by Joel Embiid.
