The German basketball players initially avoid the top opponent at the European Championship. Nevertheless, there is a difficult lot.
The top opponents avoided, but Luka Doncic threatens: The German basketball world champions could catch a very feasible group on their medal mission at the upcoming European Championship.
The team around Captain Dennis Schröder is set for the draw on March 27 in Riga alongside Vice World Champion Serbia, defending champion Spain and the Olympic second France one in pot.
Wants the next European Championship medal: Dennis Schröder
Duel with Greece also possible
In the preliminary round, the European Championship thirds of 2022 avoid the supposedly best teams. Nevertheless, at least an NBA superstar could wait for Germany. Both Slovenia with Doncic and the Greeks around Giannis Antetocounmpo are pulled out of pot two. The basketball nations Latvia, co-host of the European Championship, and Lithuania are also lurking there.
The 24 participants are drawn in four groups of six teams each. The top four of each group reach the round of 16. The European Championship will take place in Latvia, Finland, Poland and Cyprus from August 27th to September 14th. The final round rises in Riga.
