Alex Saratsis, agent for Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo, confirmed the reigning NBA MVP’s Twitter account was hacked on Thursday, per ESPN’s Eric Woodyard.
The announcement comes in the wake of a series of insensitive tweets made from Antetokounmpo’s account that included racist and derogatory language.
According to Kostas, Giannis’ brother, the hacker got into Giannis’ twitter, phone, email and bank accounts.
