Nelson’s corner J right at the buzzer ends a 16-0 run from Greece as GB trail 24-18 after the 1st in Milan. He has a game-high 12 points on 4-6 shooting.

Giannis Antetokounmpo will rest today vs. Great Britain.
Considering that a lot of fans came at Forum d’Assago today to watch him live…this is really disappointing news.
He could have played at least first half – 10:50 AM

With 3 games left in the group stage (Great Britain, Ukraine, Estonia) is a good chance for coaching staff to rest Giannis Antetokounmpo ahead of knockout stage. He will rest vs GB. It won’t be a surprise if he’s on a minutes restriction in the next 2 games. #GBRGRE #EuroBasket – 10:40 AM

Kostas Antetokounmpo is feeling better. Actually, he made one more individual practice today in “Mediolanum Forum”. He will miss the game vs Great Britain tonight, but in the Greek NT they hope that he will be available at some point during the Group Phase. #HellasBasketball – 9:40 AM

GB basketball play against Giannis and Greece today at Eurobasket, what an experience for those guys, hoping for an upset W – 6:09 AM

After he ties the game with two seconds left, the play-by-play says Sandro Mamukelashvili is the superstar that will help Giannis win his second NBA title. Might be overdoing it a tad – 3:05 PM

“Give him Tim Duncan’s knowledge, a whole different player isn’t he?”
Longtime NBA guard Gilbert Arenas joined @Rick Kamla & @adaniels33 to clarify his comments about Giannis.
