Hosts Poland opened EuroBasket 2025 in dream fashion, stunning Slovenia 105–95 with elite shooting and balanced scoring. Jordan Loyd erupted for 32 points on 7-of-8 from deep, becoming the first Polish player since 1995 to hit seven triples in a EuroBasket game. Mateusz Ponitka added 23 points and 7 rebounds, earning TCL Player of the Game honors.
Poland shot a blistering 59% from the field and 54% from three, riding a decisive third-quarter where Poland opened it with a 15-3 run that broke the game open. This result energizes Group D, with Poland proving its contender status at home.
For their upcoming game against Israel, Poland must control pace, limit Israel in transition, force half-court sets and punch from deep. However, the loss of Jeremy Sochan to injury has weakened their defensive versatility and rebounding. Poland will need to rely on frontcourt depth Balcerowski, Olejniczak and Ponitka’s leadership to anchor both ends.
Israel opened its Group D campaign at Katowice’s Spodek Arena with a solid 83-71 victory against Iceland, pulling away decisively in the second half. The first half was competitive, with Israel leading 36-32 at the break. The defining stretch arrived in the early third quarter, when Israel unleashed a 10-0 run, firmly seizing control and building momentum.
Roman Sorkin was the standout, powering the offense with 31 points on 9-of-12 two-point shooting and 4-of-7 from three, along with 5 rebounds. Deni Avdija complemented him with a versatile performance, 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks, despite going 0-for-5 from three.
With this opener win, Israel set a confident tone in Group D, showcasing both interior prowess through Sorkin and balanced two-way contribution from Avdija. Their next challenge arrives quickly, an anticipated matchup against hosts Poland.

Poland and Israel both opened Group D with wins. Poland edged Slovenia 105-95, while Israel beat Iceland 83-71. Their matchup on August 30 at Spodek Arena, Katowice, sets up a high-stakes duel between host pride and Israel’s strong early form. The match is slated to be played at Katowice, Spodek Arena, Poland and the scheduled start time is 12:00 AM, Local Time: 08:30 PM (GMT+2).
| Player Name | Points | Rebounds | Assists | Steals/Blocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jordan Loyd | 32.0 | 1.0 | 2.0 | 2.0/0.0 |
| Roman Sorkin | 31.0 | 5.0 | 1.0 | 1.0/1.0 |
Poland’s home crowd and perimeter firepower give them an edge, but Israel’s frontcourt duo will test their defense without Sochan. Expect a tight contest, slight advantage to Israel if Avdija and Sorkin replicate their form, otherwise Poland can edge it with hot shooting.
