Giannis Antetokounmpo Leads Greece to EuroBasket Bronze, Ends 16-Year Medal Drought

Greece edged Finland 92–89 in the third-place game, with Lauri Markkanen recording 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Finns. Antetokounmpo delivered 30 points, 17 rebounds, six assists and two steals on 9-of-11 shooting and 12-of-16 free throws. Across the tournament he averaged 27.3 points, 10.6 rebounds and 4.1 assists on 69% shooting from the field.

He intends to rest for the remainder of September before reporting to the Milwaukee Bucks for training camp in October.
