Milwaukee, WI — In a stunning development that has electrified the basketball world, Milwaukee Bucks General Manager Jon Horst, alongside his family and senior team leadership, announced today that franchise icon Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the organization — this time, in a powerful front-office role.

Antetokounmpo, a two-time NBA MVP and cornerstone of the Bucks’ 2021 championship team, will serve as the Chief Basketball Operations Officer, overseeing player development, scouting strategy, and team-building decisions. This marks a historic transition for one of the game’s most beloved figures, as he moves from on-court dominance to shaping the franchise’s future from the executive level.

“This is more than just a homecoming,” said GM Jon Horst at the press conference. “Giannis is family. His commitment to excellence, leadership, and relentless pursuit of greatness is exactly what we need guiding this next era of Bucks basketball.”

But that wasn’t the only surprise of the day.

In a cross-sport announcement that few saw coming, Horst also revealed that Marc-André Fleury, the legendary NHL goaltender and long-time face of the Pittsburgh Penguins, will be joining the Bucks organization as a Senior Coaching Advisor.

Yes — that Marc-André Fleury.

Though primarily known for his dominance between the pipes in the NHL, Fleury has long been an advocate of cross-training and mental performance strategies that transcend sports. His role will focus on team psychology, resilience training, and competitive mindset development — areas the Bucks see as critical in their push for another championship.

“This is an organization that thinks outside the box,” Fleury said. “When the opportunity came to work with a world-class franchise like the Bucks — and alongside someone like Giannis — I couldn’t say no.”

With these bold moves, the Bucks are signaling a new era of innovation, leadership, and legacy-building. Fans in Milwaukee — and around the world — will be watching closely as two legends take their talents off the court and into the heart of team operations.
