Giannis Antetokounmpo to miss World Cup due to leg injury?
Milwaukee Bucks superstar forward Giannis Antetokounmpo might not make it to The Philippines. As reported by SDNA’s Magic EuroLeague, The Greek Freak is doubtful for the competition. Antetokounmpo is dealing with a leg injury that might prevent him from representing Greece. The Greek outlet notes that Giannis has the desire to play in the World Cup but the pain in his leg might keep him away as the Bucks are not expected to green-light his departure to the international stage unless he’s 100% healthy.

The Greek national team is viewed as one of the medal contenders in the 2023 World Cup. However, it might change pretty quickly.

10 years ago tonight John Hammond drafted Giannis as the 15th pick in 2013 Draft. At the Cousins Center when the pick was announced @DennisKrause1 and I looked at each other and realized we were gonna need to learn to say Antetokounmpo. I said it looked like the Alphabet. We did! – 6:46 PM
