The Blue-Yellows will play another qualifying match for the World Basketball Championship.
Without Pustovoy and Lukashov. This decision was made by the coaching staff of the Ukrainian national basketball team and did not include the players in the application for the duel in North Macedonia. Instead, experience center Vyacheslav Kravtsov and debutant Artem Kovalev could enter the Skopje site. This was reported by the Basketball Federation of Ukraine.
Note that for both teams the upcoming match will not have a special tournament value. The Ukrainians have already guaranteed themselves a place in the next round of qualification, and the Macedonians will certainly not be able to move up to fourth place in the quartet.
Therefore, Bagatskis decided not to include Pustovoy and Lukashov, who played on July 1 in a successful match against the Georgian team, in the roster for the game, in order to give them a break before an important duel in Spain.
The composition of the Ukrainian team:
Vitaly Zotov, Ilya Sidorov, Issuf Sanon, Svyatoslav Mikhailyuk, Pavel Krutous, Ivan Tkachenko, Vyacheslav Bobrov, Artem Kovalev, Sergey Pavlov, Vyacheslav Petrov, Vyacheslav Kravtsov, Dmitry Skapintsev.
Application of the national team of Ukraine
It will be recalled that the qualifying match North Macedonia – Ukraine, will be held today, July 4. The match will take place in Skopje at the Sports Center Boris Trajkovski arena and will start at 19:00 Kyiv time.
