Who is playing in EuroBasket 2025?
Dončić and Jokić aren’t the only NBA stars taking part in EuroBasket 2025. Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will suit up for Greece, where he’ll play with his brothers Thanasis and Kostas.
Some of the other big names at the event include Kristaps Porziņģis, Nikola Vučević, Lauri Markkanen, Bilal Coulibaly, Franz Wagner, Jonas Valančiūnas, Alperen Şengün and Deni Avdija, per Yahoo Sports’ Morten Stig Jensen.
Notably, France will not have San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama or Minnesota Timberwolves big man Rudy Gobert for the tournament. Wembanyama missed time last year due to a blood clot and is prioritizing rest this offseason. Gobert did not deal with a major injury last season, but also cited rest as a reason for skipping EuroBasket 2025.
