    Group C: Giannis back for Greece

    Can Giannis and Greece qualify on the first try?

    With two nice wins in the books, Greece now take on Georgia with their eyes set on the knockout stages. Be sure to tune in and find out if Georgia's passion can take down Giannis Antetokounmpo who is returning after sitting out the Cyprus game. Reigning champs Spain, who bounced back on Saturday, want to build on that as they take on the hosts Cyprus. Italy and Bosnia and Herzegovina will finish things off with their battle for 2-1 and a Simone Fontecchio vs Jusuf Nurkic matchup.

    Did you know?

    • Georgia knocked down only three three-pointers in their last game after making eight or more three-pointers in eight of their nine previous games at the FIBA EuroBasket.

    • Spain have dished out 20 or more assists in six straight games at the EuroBasket with the longest streak of that kind being seven games.

    • Saliou Niang is the only Italia's player to go into the double digits in the scoring column in each of their first two games at the FIBA EuroBasket 2025.

    Group B: France look towards Riga

    France with a chance to extend their perfect run

    After surviving the encounter with Luka Doncic, France now look upon the clear pathway to the top of the group. Next stop is Israel, a team at 1-1 who just missed out on making it two from two. Earlier, Slovenia take on Belgium in a must-win game now that they found themselves at 0-2 as hosts Poland will end the day with a bout against heartbroken Iceland, aiming to record their third win and book the stay in Riga.

    Did you know?

    • Luka Doncic has scored 30+ points in five EuroBasket games since the start of the 2022 event, more than any other player in that span.

    • This is the first time that France have started a FIBA EuroBasket tournament by scoring 90+ points in each of their first two games (92 vs Belgium & 103 vs Slovenia).

    • Mateusz Ponitka has had three double-doubles at the FIBA EuroBasket, the second-most for any Polish player over the last 30 years. Only Marcin Gortat has more with five.
