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.

The 27-year-old made his debut for Greece in the 2014 FIBA World Cup, and this was followed by the EuroBasket 2015 competition, the 2016 Olympic Qualifying Tournament, and the 2019 FIBA World Cup.

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.
