(Photo Courtesy of FIBA)<\/p>\n<p>No NBA team has more players playing in EuroBasket 2025 more than the Miami Heat.<\/p>\n<p>Good news: All of them are heading to the knockout round.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Lithuania bested Pelle Larsson and Sweden, 74-71, Montenegro\u2019s loss to Great Britain Wednesday put Sweden into the knockout stage \u2014 rewarding the Heat with three players in the knockout round (Larsson, Nikola Jovic, Simone Fontecchio).<\/p>\n<p>Heading into Thursday \u2014 the final day of Group Stage play \u2014 Serbia and Italy are both second in their respective groups. Serbia could have clinched the top spot in Group A, but narrowly lost to Alperen Sengun and Turkey, who clinched the No. 1 spot. Italy can clinch the top spot in Group C with a Greece loss to Spain on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The Miami Heat are one of four teams \u2014 others being the Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards and Atlanta Hawks \u2014 with three EuroBasket players; two of Washington\u2019s players (Alex Sarr, Bilal Coulibaly) are suiting up for France while Tristan da Silva and Franz Wagner are both playing for Germany. <\/p>\n<p>You could argue that Pelle Larsson has been the Heat\u2019s best player in EuroBasket. Through four games, he\u2019s averaging a team-high 19.8 points, in addition to 4.5 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 1.3 steals per game. He hasn\u2019t shot the ball well from deep, but he\u2019s looked far more comfortable with the rock in his hands against physicality as the team\u2019s lead ballhandler.<\/p>\n<p>Sweden will play Turkey in the Round of 16 (5:00 a.m. EST) on Saturday, while Serbia will take on Finland (2:45 p.m. EST). We won\u2019t know the full slate until Thursday\u2019s games are concluded. But it\u2019s objectively cool that multiple Heat players will be showcased in the spotlight in do-or-die competition.
