Following a friendly game against Germany, the final roster of the Greek national team for the upcoming 2023 FIBA World Cup was announced.

Two players were cut from the squad as head coach Dimitris Itoudis said goodbye to Panagiotis Kalaitzakis and Georgios Tsalmpouris.

The team won't have its biggest star Giannis Antetokounmpo who withdrew from the national team due to injury. Kostas Sloukas and Nick Calathes will not compete in the World Cup as well.

Greece will compete in Group C in the World Cup with the USA, Jordan, and New Zealand. The tournament starts on August 25th.
