The Lakers are bringing in the younger brother of the reigning MVP, Kostas Antetokounmpo, on a two-way deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Antetokounmpo was the last pick in the 2018 draft and spent most of last season on the Mavericks' G League affiliate.

After playing in the Summer League with Dallas, he was waived on Friday, allowing Los Angeles to scoop him up.
