Greece is set to host a six-team qualifying tournament from July 2-7, with the hopes of securing a spot in the Paris Olympics basketball tournament. Among the teams competing in this tournament is Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has expressed his desire to suit up for Greece, according to Greek coach Vasilis Spanoulis.
Antetokounmpo has been recovering from a calf strain that caused him to miss the end of the regular season and the playoffs with the Bucks. Despite this, he has expressed his desire to play for his national team this summer, depending on how well he has healed.
The competition in the qualifier is tough, with teams like Slovenia, featuring Luka Doncic, as well as other formidable opponents like New Zealand, Croatia, Egypt, and the Dominican Republic. Only one team will secure a spot in the Paris Olympics from this tournament, making it a challenging road for Greece.
