Giannis had no idea that he had already earned $150,000 by making it to the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament.

Following the Milwaukee Bucks’ Tuesday night trip to Las Vegas for the NBA’s first-ever In-Season Tournament Final Four round, Giannis Antetokounmpo was questioned by TNT’s Jared Greenberg about whether he would gamble with the money he had won for advancing this far in the competition.

However, Giannis was unaware that players who advanced to the quarterfinals and semifinals would get monetary awards.

“Are we getting money now?” Giannis smiled and asked Greenberg. “We got some money?” In response to Greenberg’s question about whether or not that surprised him, Antetokokounmpo said, “The rich get richer.”

What will the players’ earnings be in the in-season competition, then?

Each member of the squad who participated in the quarterfinals was awarded $50,000. Players receive an additional $100,000 should their team, like the Bucks did on Tuesday night, advance to the Final Four. So, in the case of Greek Freak, he already has earned $150,000 with his Bucks advancing to the semifinals.

Each player on the teams that advance to the inaugural In-Season competition finals will get a whopping $200,000. Of course, everyone is really looking forward to the $500,000 cash prize to the members of the championship-winning team.

Two-way players are paid half of what full-time players are paid, according to the rules. Assistant coaches will get 75% of what the head coach receives in awards, while head coaches will be eligible for the same rewards as full-time players.

This implies that players on the squad that wins the title will get paid $850,000 in monetary awards. While the stars on the team may not care about the sum, two-way players who earn approximately $559,000 a year would find receiving $425,000 for their first-ever NBA Cup victory to be extremely significant. Dame was attempting to convey this point when he discussed the significance of winning the In-Season competition.

The Bucks’ next opponent is the Pacers.

Later on Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns squared off on the route to the NBA Cup. LeBron James delivered another strong performance to lead the Lakers to victory. At the T-Mobile Arena on Thursday night, they will play the Pelicans. On Monday night, New Orleans upset the Sacramento Kings to move on to the semifinals.

Milwaukee will play the Indiana Pacers on Thursday night as they continue their journey towards the NBA Cup. The Indiana Pacers, who overcame the Boston Celtics, the clear favorites for the championship, became the first team to earn $100,000 for each player. Each Bucks player will receive an additional $200,000 from the league if they defeat the Pacers.

Giannis is earning $45.6 million this season, so regardless of the outcome, not much will change for him in Vegas—well, maybe his allotment for roulette—because, after all, the wealthy become richer. For his colleagues who make less money, though, the game will mean more. And Giannis and Dame will be motivated by that to win everything in Sin City.
