The 24-year-old Milwaukee Bucks star confirmed the news in a statement saying: he hasn’t “talked to the coach about which position I’ll be playing … the important thing is to play.”

“Whether I play the 1 (point guard) or the 5 (center), I don’t care,” Antetokounmpo said. “I’m a basketball player. I want to help the team any way I can.”

The World Cup takes place from Aug. 31-Sept. 15 and Greece is one of the 32 qualifiers.

Giannis Antetokounmpo was born in Greece to Nigerian migrant parents. He was recently crowned Most Valuable Player ahead of Paul George of the Oklahoma City Thunder and James Harden of the Houston Rockets.
