Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar, is back in Olympic basketball action on Tuesday morning. After going just 1-2 during the group phase and claiming an up-for-grabs spot based on point differential, the Greek national team is set to square off with Germany, which will trot out the Wagner brothers and several other NBA veterans.

The game is the first of four Olympic quarterfinal contests on Tuesday and will tip off at 5:00 a.m. ET, or 11:00 a.m. local time, from Bercy Arena in Paris, France.
