The 2025-26 NBA season is shaping up to be a crucial one for Giannis Antetokounmpo, who looks set to stay with the Milwaukee Bucks after months of trade speculation. But Bucks fans were given a scare during EuroBasket 2025, where the two-time MVP has been starring for Greece.
Ahead of their clash with Bosnia and Herzegovina, Antetokounmpo was ruled out late due to knee discomfort. The setback forced Greece to take the court without their leader, and they fell to their first loss of the tournament, going down 80-77. Antetokounmpo has been instrumental for Greece in the competition so far, showcasing the same dominance he brings to the NBA. While his absence may prove temporary, the incident raises concerns in Milwaukee, where hopes are pinned on him to spearhead a return to championship contention this season.
