The Greek national team is scheduled to play against Spain on Tuesday. Olympiacos Piraeus guard is likely to miss the preparation game due to discomfort he feels in his leg.

Greece's head coach Dimitris Itoudis during the Greek national team's media day mentioned that the training of the team ahead of EuroBasket on Saturday will take place in the absence of three players.

In addition to Sloukas, Georgios Papagiannis has not yet managed to join the team since the start of the preparation, while Giannis Antetokounmpo practiced individually so far due to NBA and FIBA agreement rules.
