ANALYSISThe FIBA World Cup rosters allow 12 players per country, and the Hellenic Basketball Federation announced Sunday that Antetokounmpo's withdrawal was due to injury. Antetokounmpo's older brother, Bucks superstar
Giannis Antetokounmpo, will also sit out the FIBA event. Kostas, 25, last played in the NBA during the 2020-21 season but had been signed to a two-way deal with the Bulls for a brief portion of the 2022-23 campaign.
