Basketball player Karasev: “The national team is needed anyway. For young people to come and prove”

Russian national basketball player Sergei Karasev commented on the news that the national team was not among the participants in the EuroBasket 2025 qualifier.

On Thursday, the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) released the basket list ahead of the draw for the third round of the EuroBasket 2025 qualifying tournament, as the Russian team failed to qualify.

– Not so long ago it was decided not to allow the Russian men’s basketball team to participate in the Olympic qualifications for EuroBasket 2025 and 2024. Did you notice this fact or not? do you pay more attention?

“It’s all been going on for so long. It’s embarrassing, embarrassing, but what can you do. We have to live for today, enjoy what we have.

– The Russian national team plans a training camp, friendly matches. Is all this really necessary under current conditions? Maybe all of this is just a waste of players’ time and energy?

– Now such a situation that it is not clear how it will develop further. But the team is needed anyway, I think. For young people to come and prove. Yes, for us too. It has always been the case: the season is on, you come to the national team, change faces, communicate with old friends. This then helps in club basketball. You went, changed, rested your head and returned to the club with renewed vigor,” Rossiyskaya Gazeta said, citing Karasev.
