MILWAUKEE (AP) The Milwaukee Bucks say Giannis Antetokounmpo was training briefly with the Greek national team when he reported to his NBA team that he was experiencing knee pain, an injury that will keep him out of the European championship.

The Bucks agreed with their medical staff's recommendation for Antetokounmpo not to play, general manager Jon Horst said. The All-Star forward reported to the Bucks that he was having right anterior knee pain following certain movements.

Antetokounmpo is scheduled to return to Milwaukee this week to begin daily treatment and rehab to be ready for Bucks' training camp, which begins in roughly five weeks.
