VILNIUS (Lithuania) – Lithuania have officially confirmed their 12-man roster for the upcoming FIBA EuroBasket 2025, headlined by the country’s legend Jonas Valanciunas.<\/p>\n

Head coach Rimas Kurtinaitis finalized the squad after the team wrapped up their preparations before getting to Tampere, beating Iceland by 13 points in their final warm-up. <\/p>\n

LITHUANIA’S ROSTER FOR FIBA EUROBASKET 2025<\/p>\n

Laurynas Birutis, Marek Blazevic, Rokas Giedraitis, Rokas Jokubaitis, Margiris Normantas, Gytis Radzevicius, Ignas Sargiunas, Tadas Sedekerskis, Deividas Sirvydis, Azuolas Tubelis, Jonas Valanciunas, Arnas Velicka<\/p>\n

They have been almost perfect in the preparation campaign for the biggest appointment of the summer, finishing with a 6-1 record in friendly games.<\/p>\n

Lithuania lost only to T\u00fcrkiye in their penultimate clash of the summer, despite suffering only a three-point defeat. Prior to that loss, they went over Estonia, T\u00fcrkiye, Georgia, Latvia, and Slovenia. Finally, they beat Iceland too.<\/p>\n

It won’t be the perfect roster for the Baltic basketball-loving country, as they won’t have Domantas Sabonis on board. However, Valanciunas can still be a dominant force at FIBA EuroBasket.<\/p>\n

In their 14th straight participation at the tournament, Lithuania still look to make some noise – maybe even contend for their fourth-ever FIBA EuroBasket title?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lithuania will play the Group Phase in Tampere, alongside co-hosts Finland, Germany, Sweden, Montenegro, and Great Britain in Group B.<\/p>\n

They will begin their campaign against Great Britain on August 27 at 12:30 CET.<\/p>\n
