The upcoming EuroBasket tournament has generated significant interest following the announcement of the group draw, which sees France and Slovenia grouped together. This deal opens the door for a possible first-time encounter between NBA phenoms Victor Wembanyama and Luka Dončić. Set to begin late this August, the competition will be fierce as squads look to outdo one another and secure their spot in the next stage.
He is receiving treatment for acute deep vein thrombosis in his right shoulder, which casts doubt on his availability to play this summer. Wembanyama, who has not appeared in an NBA game since the All-Star break, remains a key figure for France in international competitions. On the flip side, the Dallas Mavericks’ Luka Dončić has made it clear that he wants to play for Slovenia, as long as he is healthy.
France and Slovenia were placed in Group D in the EuroBasket draw. They will face stiff competition from teams in Poland, Israel, Belgium, and Iceland. The top four teams in each group will take their places in the final phase. Groups C and D occupy the top half of the knockout bracket. As the tournament plays out, all eyes will be on the likely matchup between Wembanyama and Dončić.
Spain are the defending champions, having defeated France in the 2022 EuroBasket final. As teams prepare to face each other in fierce rivalries, Spain will surely have their eyes set on defending their title. Another well-known group is Group B, which includes Finland, Germany, Lithuania, Montenegro, Britain and Sweden. The EuroBasket tournament will undoubtedly bring some exciting basketball, as teams fight for European bragging rights on the court.
