Alex Antetokounmpo, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s younger brother, has signed a three-year contract with UCAM Murcia in Spain to begin his professional career.
Financially, the contract is very good for a player his age, and it also has an NBA out clause every summer.
Kings
According to various sources, Alex Antetokounmpo will join the Sacramento Kings in the next NBA Summer League. The youngest of the five Antetokounmpo brothers had entered the NBA Draft but had not been chosen by any team.
Alex, 19, had workout sessions with the Houston Rockets, Indiana Pacers, and San Antonio Spurs prior to the Draft. He’ll now try to land an NBA contract and enter through the Summer League.
Siblings
Alex is the eldest of four siblings. Almost all of his brothers are professional basketball players.
When Olowu’s parents emigrated to Europe, they left him behind. They made the difficult decision since working while caring for a toddler would have been challenging.
Nonetheless, he finally became a part of them. Francis used to play football in Nigeria and was as athletic as the rest of his brothers.
