With 16 players making the preliminary list of Czechia for the EuroBasket 2025, Jan Vesely was instead ruled out.
“Considering his health issues, which prevented him from playing for most of the bottom part of the past season, and the further delay in rehab and return to practice, we agreed to not include him among the candidates,” mentioned senior national team manager Jiri Welsch.
Patrik Auda and David Jelinek were also left out of the squad due to injuries.
The selections made by head coach Diego Ocampo were officially confirmed by the Czech Basketball Federation on Thursday.
