According to SDNA, a Greek news outlet, the reason for Giannis’ absence from the national team during the team’s preparation is unpaid insurance. As shocking as it is, the insurance is needed just in case the Milwaukee Bucks superstar suffers an accident or injury.

Coach Vassilis Spanoulis told SDNA that he’s unsure if Antetokounmpo will be available to play on Aug. 14 against Montenegro. One possible explanation for the unpaid insurance is due to his future in Milwaukee, since if he gets traded, the agreement between Greece and his new team needs to happen first.
