Team USA's matchup with Greece will be slightly different than its other exhibition games.
Unlike Puerto Rico, Slovenia and Spain, Greece is one of the three other teams that will be in the same group as the United States in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup, making Friday's contest a preview of what's to come.
Greece won't be at full strength when it faces the United States, both in the warm-up game and in group play. Giannis Antetokounmpo announced last week that he won't be playing in the World Cup because he is not physically ready to take the floor after undergoing a procedure on his left knee.
Without Antetokounmpo, Greece will turn to the Bucks star's brothers, Thanasis and Kostas, as well as former NBA players Kostas Papanikolaou and Georgios Papagiannis against the United States.
Here is everything you need to know to watch the exhibition game between Team USA and Greece.
