Milwaukee Bucks forward Thanasis Antetokounmpo nearly charged the floor during a moment in Sunday’s game against the Sacramento Kings at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento, California.
After seeing his brother, Giannis Antetokounmpo, get shoved from the back by Kings guard Dennis Schroder, Thanasis was seen heated on the bench, as though he was ready to throw it down on the court. Fortunately, Milwaukee guard Cole Anthony was there to hold him back.

Giannis did not seem hurt during that play, which was a great sight for Milwaukee, which can’t afford to lose its best player, especially with the team looking to string together a bunch of wins to get back in the race in the Eastern Conference.
Bucks take down Kings on Giannis’ 37 points
At the end of the day, the Antetokounmpo brothers and the Bucks got the last laugh over Schroder and the Kings, as Milwaukee came away with a 115-98 victory — the team’s second in a row.
Giannis led the way for the Bucks with 37 points on a 13/17 shooting from the floor and 11/13 from the foul line to go with 11 rebounds and an assist in 32 minutes.
Thanasis, on the other hand, did not play (coach’s decision).
Schroder had 13 points off the bench, while the Kings were paced by Russell Westbrook, who pumped out 21 points.
Up ahead for Milwaukee is an opportunity to win a third game in a row for the first time in the 2025-26 NBA season, as it takes on the Golden State Warriors this coming Wednesday at Chase Center in San Francisco.
