Bad news for Thanasis Antetokounmposince The Athletic informs us that he ruptured his Achilles tendon during his offseason. The duration of his unavailability is not yet known, but it will obviously be measured in months…
Fifteenth man of Bucksextremely little used this season, Giannis' brother is coming to the end of his contract and this injury could compromise his chances of returning to Milwaukeeotherwise to find another team during the free agency. Remember that he only scored 32 points in 34 games this season, and with the exception of the Bucks, no team is interested in him every season. But Giannis had explained why his presence is essential to him.
“I have absolute confidence in Thanasis,” Giannis said in October. “Thanasis and I have never been separated since I was born. We have always been together. He always looked after me and always supported me. I have blind trust in him, and his opinion.”
If for the Bucks, the possibility of a white season will not be problematic, on the other hand, it is a real blow for Greece, since Thanasis Antetokounmpo is one of the key players of his country. Without him (and potentially without… Giannis), the Hellenistic selection will have to seek qualification for the 2024 Olympics during a TQO that it will organize at home.
