The Milwaukee Bucks and forward Giannis Antetokounmpo on Monday agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $100 million.
The deal, expected to be signed Tuesday, was first reported by The Vertical, citing league sources.
Antetokounmpo, 21, is coming off a breakout third season with Milwaukee. The 6-foot-11 forward averaged career bests across with board with 16.9 points, 7.7 rebounds. 4.3 assists and 1.4 blocks in 80 games last season.
The No. 15 overall selection in the 2013 draft, Antetokounmpo’s deal is just below the league maximum. Antetokounmpo played for Filathlitikos in Greece prior to being drafted by Milwaukee.
He averaged 6.8 points and 4.4 rebounds as a rookie before raising those numbers to 12.7 points and 6. 7 rebounds in his second season.
