- France beat Greece 92-77 in a warm-up as Guerschon Yabusele went 3-for-3 from three with three assists and two steals, contributing to Giannis Antetokounmpo being held to 4-of-7 shooting.
- Yabusele has been appointed captain of a reconfigured France squad missing Victor Wembanyama, Rudy Gobert, Evan Fournier and Mathias Lessort, with Vincent Poirier also ruled out during preparations.
- EuroBasket begins Wednesday in Katowice, where France will compete in Group D with Poland, Slovenia, Iceland, Belgium and Israel.
- The New York Knicks signed Yabusele to a two-year deal reported around $11.7–$12 million that includes a second-year player option after his return from Europe.
