Overview
- Germany beat Lithuania 107-88 in Tampere behind Dennis Schröder’s 26 points, Franz Wagner’s 24 and Daniel Theis’s 23 on 9-of-9 shooting, sinking 19 threes at 54%.
- The victory moved Germany to 3-0 and made it the first team to clinch a round-of-16 berth at EuroBasket 2025.
- Schröder said he heard racist monkey noises at halftime, and security used video to identify a Lithuanian spectator who was removed from the arena.
- FIBA said the individual is banned from the remainder of the tournament and that evidence was sent to local police, reiterating its stance against discriminatory behavior.
- In Katowice, France defeated Slovenia 103-95 as Sylvain Francisco scored 32, and his uncontested final layup after a handshake with Luka Dončić prompted protests, technicals and debate over sportsmanship versus point-differential incentives.
