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
Laurynas Birutis, Marek Blazevic, Rokas Giedraitis, Rokas Jokubaitis, Margiris Normantas, Gytis Radzevicius, Ignas Sargiunas, Tadas Sedekerskis, Deividas Sirvydis, Azuolas Tubelis, Jonas Valanciunas, Arnas Velicka<\/strong><\/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 Lithuania will play the Group Phase in Tampere, alongside co-hosts Finland, Germany, Sweden, Montenegro, and Great Britain in Group B. They will begin their campaign against Great Britain on August 27 at 12:30 CET.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Baltic powerhouse will count on the star presence of Jonas Valanciunas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":456406,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[98,60],"tags":[12754,2015],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-456405","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-eurobasket","category-lituania","tag-eurobasket-en","tag-lithuania"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2025\/08\/IMG_1345.jpeg","digistream_id":0,"digistream":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456405","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/149"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=456405"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/456405\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/456406"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=456405"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=456405"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=456405"},{"taxonomy":"rumors","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rumors?post=456405"},{"taxonomy":"typology","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/typology?post=456405"},{"taxonomy":"posizionamento","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportando.basketball\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posizionamento?post=456405"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
