EuroBasket 2025: Luka Dončić shows he's healthy, but ex-G Leaguer steals the show as Poland upsets Slovenia

In the EuroBasket 2025 tournament, the highly anticipated match-up between Slovenia and Poland saw a surprising upset. While Slovenian superstar Luka Dončić showcased his skills with 34 points and 9 assists, it was former G League player Jordan Loyd who stole the spotlight, scoring 32 points to lead Poland to victory. The game was a closely contested affair, with both teams trading leads throughout. However, Loyd's impressive performance, including his scoring efficiency and clutch plays, proved to be the difference-maker. Despite Dončić's best efforts, Poland's team effort and Loyd's individual brilliance were too much for the Slovenian squad to overcome. The result is a significant boost for Poland's chances in the tournament and a testament to the depth of talent in European basketball. While Dončić's health and performance were positives for Slovenia, the team will need to regroup and address the areas that allowed Loyd and Poland to pull off the upset.
