Luka Doncic delivered a stellar 39-point performance for Slovenia, but his efforts were not enough as France's deep bench secured a 103-95 victory at EuroBasket. France's Sylvain Francisco led his team with 32 points off the bench, helping France improve to two wins in Group D, while Slovenia remains winless. Other Group D action saw Poland edge Israel 66-64 thanks to Jordan Loyd's clutch play, and Belgium rally past Iceland 71-64.
In Group A, Nikola Jokic powered Serbia into the knockout phase with a 39-point showing against Latvia, while Turkiye also advanced after a dominant win over Portugal. Estonia claimed their first win by defeating Czechia.
Germany and Finland both advanced from Group B, with standout performances from Dennis Schroder and Lauri Markkanen. Germany's win over Lithuania was marred by racial abuse directed at Schroder, resulting in the ejection of two fans.
In Group C, Greece cruised past Cyprus without Giannis Antetokounmpo, while Spain rebounded with a win over Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Italy defeated Georgia.
