Giannis has missed three consecutive warm-up games! He has not yet joined the Greek national team: currently training alone in Athens.

On August 10, Beijing time, the EuroBasket warm-up matches continued, with the Greek national team losing 66-76 to the Serbian team. Jokic scored 23 points, grabbed 19 rebounds, and provided 4 assists. Giannis did not participate in this game and will also miss the next warm-up match against Israel. As a result, Giannis will miss three consecutive warm-up games.

According to reports from European basketball media, Giannis is currently training alone in Athens, and it remains uncertain when he will return to the court with his teammates, although there are no concerns about his absence from the 2025 EuroBasket finals.

Additionally, Greek national team head coach Spanoulis admitted after the game against Serbia that it is still uncertain whether the "Greek Freak" will participate in the warm-up match against Montenegro scheduled for August 14 in Thessaloniki.

In an interview with Greek national television, Spanoulis stated, "We still don't know if he will play in the Thessaloniki game; Giannis will take the court at the right time."

As Spanoulis has already clarified, Giannis is following his own preparation plan and is expected to be ready when the finals begin.

In the 2024-25 season, Giannis played 67 regular-season games for the Bucks, averaging 30.4 points, 11.9 rebounds, and 6.5 assists, with a shooting percentage of 60.1%. Recently, reporter Shams reported that Giannis's future with the team remains unresolved.

“Over the past week or so, both sides have had some very serious discussions,” Shams said on his show, “but Giannis keeps asking one question: Can I win a championship with this roster?… He is eager for a second championship ring, so he keeps repeating this question.”

Shams also mentioned that if Giannis decides to leave the Bucks, “multiple teams are prepared” and will make offers at any time.
