Greek Federation reacts to the rumors about Giannis Antetokounmpo

The Greek Basketball Federation has commented on the rumors about a possible absence of Giannis Antetokounmpo from EuroBasket 2025.

According to some reports, Giannis was not playing in the friendlies due to issues with the payment of his insurance. However, the Greek superstar now seems ready to make his debut in the summer of 2025 against Latvia.

Here their statement:

“The Federation doesn’t bother with and doesn’t answer to anything malicious regarding Giannis Antetokounmpo’s participation with the national team that has been written these days. All these circles that have created these are guided by “para-centers” that knew very well that everything they were saying and writing were lies. They manufactured a non-existent issue because their sole goal was to mislead the public opinion and harm the unity and concentration of the national team with their lies. Unfortunately, it’s one more sample of some people using the national team to transmit their toxicity to basketball.”
