Greece has complicated its path with a loss to Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Greek National Team announced moments before tipoff that it would be without Giannis Antetokounmpo, who is dealing with knee soreness. Obviously, both the injury and the result directly affect Spain\u2019s aspirations at EuroBasket, as they face Italy today and close out the first phase against Greece next Thursday.<\/p>\n

Greece, which holds a 3-1 record to lead the group, has now put that top spot in jeopardy. That\u2019s why the national press was concerned about Antetokounmpo\u2019s status for the game against Spain. \u201cHe\u2019ll be there,\u201d was the emphatic declaration from Vasilis Spanoulis<\/a>.

In his appearances against Italy and Georgia, Giannis has averaged 29 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 3 assists.<\/p>\n
