Türkiye head to EuroBasket having won their last three preparation games, with the latest being a win over Montenegro after successes over Czechia and Lithuania.
They had a tricky start with defeats to Lithuania and Germany, but found their connection with three straight wins to build momentum heading into the tournament, as they chase down a spot on the podium.
They boast a team good enough to challenge, which would be welcomed, as the last time they were in the Quarter-Finals was in 2009, giving this group plenty of motivation to make themselves a part of the contenders group chat in 2025.
Türkiye will be housed in Group A in Riga, with their first matchup coming against the hosts, Latvia, on August 27 at 16:00 CET. They will go on to face Czechia, Portugal, Estonia, and Serbia.
