SARAJEVO (Bosnia and Herzegovina) – Bosnia and Herzegovina star Dzanan Musa has announced that he will not be able to take part in FIBA EuroBasket 2025 due to health reasons.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old player confirmed the news on his own social media channels: <\/p>\n

Statement by Dzanan Musa:<\/p>\n

“Through this message, I want to inform you and the public that, due to health reasons, unfortunately I will not be able to help the guys at the upcoming EuroBasket. This is the first time I’m facing something like this, and it’s certainly not easy to go through. The medical team is, of course, fully informed about all the details. A few days ago, I underwent surgery in Munich, and my recovery will take a few weeks longer than originally planned. I don’t need to tell you how much my heart breaks that I won’t be there with the guys, fighting for our Bosnia and Herzegovina. The expectations were and remain huge. I am sure the guys will carry the weight as they should. With all my heart, I am with them, and I am certain there will be many more tournaments where we will go as a united team, a team that gives everything for our homeland.”<\/p>\n

Musa was one of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s top performers at FIBA EuroBasket 2025 Qualifiers, averaging 22.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game.<\/p>\n

He was also the team’s leading scorer at FIBA EuroBasket 2022, where he put up averages of 21.4 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.0 assists per contest.<\/p>\n

Musa’s absence is a major blow for Bosnia and Herzegovina, who will compete in Group C in Limassol against Spain, Italy, Greece, Georgia, and hosts Cyprus.<\/p>\n
