With the difference reaching +20 early on, all the attention was much more focused on whether a mistake caused Giannis Antetokounmpo to stay on the bench for almost the entire second half, rather than how much the scorer would record in the match with Estonia.

In the end, all the news was good news. Our team comfortably beat 90-69, did 5v5 in the group and will meet on Sunday with the Czech Republic Tomas Satoranski and Jan Vesely at the Mercedes Benz Arena in Berlin, in the “16” phase, while Giannis is nothing serious.

He is dealing with a slight sprain that will not prevent him from competing, but for better or worse, all steps will be careful and his condition will be reassessed day by day.

The important news was the return of Costas Antetokounmpo to the ranks. Quarters: 21-27, 36-51, 49-77, 69-90

The Greek team beat Estonia 90-69 – Giannis is fine, he hit his foot.
