Giannis Antetokounmpo on the suggestion he’s OK not playing: ‘This hurts me’
Antetokounmpo made it clear he wants to play. But he also wants to play with Alex. He had the chance to play with brothers Thanasis and Kostas in EuroBasket last summer, and he's missing the chance to play with Thanasis and Alex this spring.
