The league keeps moving forward, positive tests keep coming back, and another member of the Milwaukee Bucks will be kept away from the team for some time. This time around, it’s Thanasis Antetokounmpo, the elder brother of Giannis and team spark plug, who will go from the bench and into isolation.
Because Thanasis is not a crucial part of the Bucks’ rotation, it would be easy to let this news pass by without another mention. But in this case, it creates a curious pair of data points because Thanasis also previously entered the protocols in July, right before Game 5 of the 2021 NBA Finals.
