With the NBA still in its offseason, some of the biggest basketball stars will take advantage of the “vacation” to defend their national teams at EuroBasket 2025. On the other hand, although stars like Luka Doncic (Slovenia), Nikola Jokic (Serbia) and Giannis Antetokounmpo (Greece) have already been confirmed for the tournament, other important names in the league will be missing from their teams due to physical problems.
