There’s a good chance that Giannis Antetokounmpo will face his brother when the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Lakers do battle on Thursday.

The Lakers have called up Kostas Antetokounmpo from the G-League ahead of Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Hawks.

Two-way forward Kostas Antetokounmpo has joined the Lakers in Atlanta. Lakers play at Bucks on Thursday, so good chance we’ll have all three Antetokounmpos under the same roof.

The Lakers claimed the younger Antetokounmpo off waivers back in July. He’s been active for just two games this season and has seen a total of three minutes of action.

Not nearly as highly regarded as his older brother, Kostas, 22, originally entered the NBA as a second-round pick of the Philadelphia 76ers back in 2018. He played two games for the Dallas Mavericks last season.
