Why is Giannis Antetokounmpo Missing Bosnia & Herzegovina Clash? Greek Star’s EuroBasket Absence Will Worry Bucks

With EuroBasket 2025 progressing, Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Team Greece is next set to face off against Team Bosnia. Jusuf Nurkic had already made clear he wasn’t afraid of taking on ‘The Greek Freak’, stating that “Generally, he’s sucked at those defenses the last few years he’s played in EuroBasket. But it’s not only him, so we will be ready”. As ‘BasketNews’ reporter Giorgos Kyriakidis highlighted, Nurkic’s eagerness to bring home what could be Bosnia’s second win in the tournament will be tested. However, given a recent revelation about Giannis Antetokounmpo, it feels that the test will be made a little easier.

According to reports, Giannis Antetokounmpo will reportedly miss his second EuroBasket2025 game. ‘The Greek Freak’ has reportedly been scratched from the game against Bosnia and Herzegovina after reports of discomfort in his knee. Giannis had earlier missed Greece’s EuroBasket game against Cyprus, as he was put on rest for the first game of its back-to-back set.
