EuroBasket 2025, some say no: Brown and Gobert’s choices

From August 27 to September 14 is scheduled the’2025 edition of EuroBasket. A very important event that, however, will not see the presence of all the best aces of European basketball. Spain and France, two of the national teams in the running for the final victory, know something about this, having already lost one element each of enormous quality.

Sergio Scariolo’s Spain has cashed Lorenzo Brown’s no. The new player from’Olimpia Milano apparently declined the call-up for “personal reasons”. Many in Spain have lashed out at the naturalized Spanish-American point guard.

France, a highly talented team, is also coming to terms with a major rejection. Gobert, an NBA star, has made it known that he will not participate in EuroBasket. In this case, the 33-year-old Minnesota Timberwolves long man wanted to explain his decision not to be part of the French expedition.

“This is a carefully considered decision that came for several reasons. In recent years, I have always had very busy summers, and all of this has value. You don&#8217t always realize how competitive a European is. It ends just before the NBA resumes and comes with great responsibility. I had stated that I would wait until the end of the season before deciding and now I have done so. This summer I will devote myself to myself, my family and my children” his words to Aisne Nouvelle.
