The Serbia men’s national basketball team lost to Finland, 92-86 on Saturday in the EuroBasket 2025 Round of 16. With the loss, Serbia is eliminated.
This game could have gone either way, but it began with Finland taking an early lead, though the Serbs entered halftime with a small lead themselves.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic led the Serbs with 33 points. Washington Wizards center Tristan Vukcevic did not play. For Finland, Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen led with 29 points.
The early loss in EuroBasket does not end Serbia’s hopes of getting a FIBA World Cup spot for 2027 in Qatar. All of the 24 teams in EuroBasket, along with eight teams eliminated in the EuroBasket qualifiers made the World Cup qualifiers. The group stage games begin in late November and move on through early July 2026.
