EuroBasket 2025, the latest chapter of the every-four-years event to determine the top basketball squad in Europe, commences on August 27 and continues until September 14 across Cyprus, Finland, Poland, and Latvia. The competition will include 24 nations and a multitude of NBA athletes.
This event highlights the premier basketball figures in Europe, many of whom are well-known individuals frequently seen in the NBA. Given the increasing number of international players in the NBA each year, it is not unusual for numerous EuroBasket teams to boast some of the NBA’s finest, and this year will see many prominent figures representing their respective nations.
