Germany vs. Slovenia Tonight in EuroBasket Quarterfinal as Luka Dončić Takes Center Stage

Germany emphasizes a whole‑team defensive plan against the tournament’s leading scorer.

Overview

  • Tipoff is at 20:00 in Riga with live coverage on RTL, MagentaSport and MagentaTV, and streaming on RTL+.
  • Luka Dončić leads EuroBasket in scoring and powered Slovenia with 42 points against Italy, and after reporting adductor discomfort he said he will receive treatment and play.
  • Interim coach Alan Ibrahimagić says Germany’s focus is controlling Slovenia’s entire lineup rather than only chasing Dončić’s points.
  • German players and analysts highlight physicality as a key approach, while several commentators question Slovenia’s depth beyond Dončić, with Klemen Prepelic noted as their next-best scorer.
  • Security around Dončić has been visible at the tournament, following reported threats toward Dallas personnel after his February trade to the Lakers.
