Ladies and gentlemen, Thanasis Antetokounmpo is back.
This news comes from the man himself. After missing the entire 202425 season with a torn Achilles, he announced during a live taping of his podcast “The Thanalysis Show” that he has officially been cleared to return to professional basketball. “I’m back, I’m back,” he repeated during the show’s introduction while sporting his classic grin.
The Achilles tear occurred during a workout last spring ahead of the 2024 playoffs. Thanasis said he underwent surgery immediately the next day, before beginning his long road to recovery. “It was hard… emotionally draining,” he said about the rehab process.
