The team will count on their biggest basketball star Tomas Satoransky, when it will face Bosnia and Herzegovina on July 1 in Pardubice (CZE) and Lithuania on July 4 in Klaipeda (LTU).

However, the squad will be missing the Turkish League champion Jan Vesely of Fenerbahce Beko Istanbul.

The Czech national team sits last (fourth) in Group F with 1 win and 3 losses. It will be the do-or-die FIBA window for them, as three teams will advance to the next phase.

Satoransky is coming off the shaky NBA season, finishing it in Washington. Prior to that, he agreed to a contract buyout with the San Antonio Spurs.

The 30-year-old guard began the 2021-22 campaign with the New Orleans Pelicans before a couple of trade-deadline deals, which sent him to the Portland Trail Blazers and then to the Spurs.

A second-round draft pick by the Wizards in 2012 has NBA career averages of 6.9 points, 4.1 assists, and 2.9 rebounds in 388 games (182 starts) with the Wizards, Chicago Bulls, Pelicans, and Spurs.

Full squad:

Patrik Auda Richard Balint Ondrej Balvin Jaromir Bohacik David Bohm Vojtech Hruban David Jelinek Lubos Kovar Martin Kriz Tomas Kyzlink Lukas Palyza Martin Peterka Viktor Pulpan Tomas Satoransky Ondrej Sehnal Tomas Vyoral Jan Zidek
