FC Barcelona center will miss both games against Greece and Great Britain due to minor injuries.

"I'm sorry I can't help at the start of qualifying, but I've been plagued by fatigue and minor injuries in recent weeks, so I need to recover during the window to prepare for the peak of the season," Vesely said in a statement. "I will be watching the matches, and I believe that the boys will take a good step towards our common goal, which is to qualify for the 2025 EuroBasket."

Vesely averages 12.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 16.6 PIR per game in 25 EuroLeague appearances for Barcelona this season.
