TALLINN (Estonia) – Estonia revealed their final 12-man roster for FIBA EuroBasket 2025 with Kristian Kullamae and Henri Drell as the biggest names. <\/p>\n

Head coach Heiko Rannula’s plans took a major blow as star starting center Maik-Kalev Kotsar could not be included due to a shoulder injury. <\/p>\n

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

Henri Drell, Kregor Hermet, Janari Joesaar, Mikk Jurkatamm, Artur Konontsuk, Kristian Kullamae, Sander Raieste, Joonas Riismaa, Mart Rosenthal, Matthias Tass, Kaspar Treier, Siim-Sander Vene<\/p>\n

Estonia had a mixed bag of results in the preparations, going 3-2 including a final loss at home in Tallinn against Great Britain. They did beat Israel, Georgia and Sweden after an opening defeat in Lithuania. <\/p>\n

The absence of Kotsar, who led Estonia in scoring and rebounds in the Qualifiers, leaves Matthias Tass as the only real big man on Rannula’s team. <\/p>\n

Kullamae and Drell will be needed even more to pick up the scoring responsibility while captain Siim-Sander Vene, Artur Konontsuk and Kaspar Treier are also key players who will need to step up their game.<\/p>\n
