On August 7, Greece defeated Belgium 74-60 in the European Championship warm-up match. "Antetokounmpo" Sanassis Antetokounmpo officially returned after 461 days. He returned from a serious injury and scored 6 points in his debut in 12 minutes.

In May 2024, Sanassis suffered a severe injury to ruptured Achilles tendon during training, and then underwent surgery. She missed the entire 2024-25 season due to injury; after more than a year of rest, Sanassis finally returned to the field; currently he represented Greece in preparation for the European Championships with Antetokounmpo, and played against Belgium in the warm-up match. Sanassis scored 6 points in 12 minutes, broke through and dunked to ignite the scene. This was his return to the field after 461 days.

Sanasis was selected by the Knicks with the 21st pick in the second round in 2014. He left the NBA in just 2 games for the Knicks in the 15-16 season. He did not return to the NBA until he joined the Bucks in 2019, playing for 5 seasons for the Bucks, playing 196 games in total, averaging 7.7 minutes per game and scoring 2.4 points and 1.6 rebounds. He followed the Bucks to win the championship in the 2020-21 season.

Sanasis is currently a free agent, why haven't the Bucks given him a new contract? It may be related to Antetokounmpo's situation. It is reported that Antetokounmpo is still evaluating his future. It is still unclear whether to leave or stay in the Bucks. Many teams in the league are waiting for Antetokounmpo to make a decision.
