Defending Champions Spain Shocked and Eliminated by Greece in Group Stage
EuroBasket 2025 just flipped the script — defending champs Spain are out ahead of the knockout rounds, knocked out in their final group game, 90-86, against Greece. A stunning storyline twist.
Giannis Antetokounmpo carried Greece with 25 points and 14 rebounds, nearly a triple-double.
Tyler Dorsey torched from deep with 22 points, going 6-of-9 from beyond the arc.
Spain, for their part, had a balanced scoring output, but critical free throw misses — including three from Juancho Hernangómez — proved costly down the stretch.
Final result: Greece topped Group C at 4-1, while Spain crashed out with a 2-3 record — marking their first group-stage exit since 1977.
The Spaniards, once a EuroBasket dynasty, now fall early. Greece, powered by Giannis and Dorsey, head into the knockouts with momentum. Will this be one of the tournament’s greatest upsets yet?
