NBA MVP and Milwaukee Bucks star, Giannis Antetokounmpo, has confirmed he will play for the Greek national team in EuroBasket 2022.

On Twitter, Antetokounmpo posted a photo of himself wearing the Greek team’s training shorts, with a caption hinting at his return.

Overall, he has averaged 11.6 points, 6.4 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 14.5 PIR over 22 games on the international stage.

Greece will play in EuroBasket’s Group C, where they will face Estonia, Ukraine, Great Britain, Italy, and Croatia.
