Achille Polonara (from 22 June) and Marco Spissu return to the blue, whose last appearances were in the Olympic quarter-final against France in Tokyo last summer. For Guglielmo Caruso and Tomas Woldetensae new call after the 2021 training camp.
The first official match will be against Slovenia (Saturday 25 June at the Allianz Dome, 8.30 pm) which a few days ago released the squad list including Luka Dončić and the brothers Goran and Zoran Dragić.
