In the upcoming matches, the national basketball team will play its strongest squad.
The Ukrainian national basketball team will play the strongest squad in qualifying matches for the 2023 World Cup and EuroBasket. Both Ukrainian NBA legionnaires Oleksiy Len and Svyatoslav Mikhailyuk will compete in the matches. In addition, Bogdan Bliznyuk and Vladimir Gerun will return to the squad. This was reported by the official FBU website.
Recall that the Sacramento center Oleksiy Len played for the national team for the last time in 2018 in the 2019 World Cup qualification matches, when the Ukrainian team beat Spain at home and lost to Montenegro on the road.
In this regard, Toronto shooting guard Svyatoslav Mikhailyuk took part in the July matches of the current selection for the world championship, where he scored 18.3 points, 5.0 rebounds and 1.7 steals in 23.8 minutes on the floor.
It will be remembered that at the end of August, the Ukrainian national team will play the first matches of the second round of the group of the 2023 World Cup qualification, where they will face the teams of Italy (August 24) and Iceland (August 27). On September 2, the team of Ainars Bagatskis will start EuroBasket 2022.
We remind you that the rivals of the Ukrainian national team in the test matches before the European Championship were identified the previous day.
