Slovenia vs Poland Game Player Stats and Box Score for Aug 29 | FIBA EuroBasket 2025

Luka Doncic makes his return to the FIBA EuroBasket as he looks to lead Slovenia once more to a continental title. However, in their first game, Poland outplayed the Slovenians, xx-xx, on their home floor at the Spodek Arena.

Doncic led all scorers with 34 points along with four rebounds and nine assists, but it was not enough as Slovenia struggled to contain Poland's one-two punch of Jordan Loyd and Matheus Ponitka.

Loyd finished with 32 points on 9-of-14 shooting from the field, while Ponitka had 23 markers to lead Poland in the win.

The result gave Poland a 1-0 start in Group D, while Slovenia slid to 0-1 to open this year's EuroBasket.

Doncic is expected to do the heavy lifting for the squad throughout the tournament as they miss NBA talents outside of the LA Lakers star. The team missed the services of Josh Nebo, Vlatko Čančar, Jaka Blažič, and Zoran Dragić for this tournament.

Against Poland, Edu Moric backstopped Doncic with 17 points, while Gregor Hrovat added 14 markers for Slovenia.

Meanwhile, Poland will be leaning on Ponitka, and Loyd from now on as they aim to use their homecourt advantage to pull some upsets in the tournament.

Slovenia will next face France on Friday, Aug. 30, while Poland will play Israel on Saturday, Aug. 31.
