Serbia fell short of EuroBasket 2025 expectations, losing 92-86 to Finland in the Round of 16 as Jokic carried the load with 33 points on efficient 9-for-13 shooting and Jović added 20, but Bogdanović’s hamstring injury left the supporting cast well short of the mark. Finland answered with Markkanen pouring in 29 and a late sequence from Valtonen as the Finns sealed the upset. Finland advances toward a first Final Four, while Serbia’s long history of title-game heartbreak persists in major tournaments.

Finland’s performance underscored depth and resilience, while Serbia’s depth concerns and injury issues loom over the rest of the event. The result shifts talk toward Markkanen’s breakout impact and the ongoing questions about Serbia’s supporting cast without Bogdanović, with fantasy implications for NBA players who carried their national teams.
