Ivica Zubac, Croatia come up short against Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece in EuroBasket opener

While EuroBasket 2022 officially got underway on Thursday thanks to Group A and Group B play, if you are a fan of the LA Clippers then it really began on Friday as Croatia took on Greece in Group C action.

Ivica Zubac, the Clippers’ starting center, got the starting nod for Croatia against Greece, who were led by the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Croatia got off to a solid start but eventually fell victim to a major first half run that saw Greece take a 46-30 lead into the half. But Croatia, as they did in their FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Pre-Qualifiers game against Poland, rallied with a third quarter spurt to claw back into this one.
