Without Giannis Antetokounmpo, the national basketball team will face Georgia
Rest day for Giannis Antetokounmpo on Thursday (18.8.), as he will not play against Georgia (9 p.m.) on the second day of the Acropolis tournament.
Special is Giannis Antetokounmpo’s lead on the way to the official games with Serbia (25/8), Belgium (28/8) for World Cup qualifiers. The people of the national team are trying to keep the top player of the team and world basketball as fresh as possible, which is why they will not use him in today’s game against Georgia (21:00, ERT1, LIVE Sportish) for the second day of the Acropolis- Tournament at OAKA.
The Greek freak will take a breather and be ready for Friday’s (19/8 at 21:00) Turkey clash with Shane Larkin, Furkan Korkmaz, Cedi Osman and Alperen Sengun, a match that will be the most important test before the trip will be in Belgrade to face Nikola Jokics Serbia.
