Alperen Sengun uses EuroBasket 2025 as a proving ground for Rockets’ season, starring for Turkey in Group A alongside Serbia, Latvia and more, with a knockout path that could pit him against Jokic, Dončić and other NBA stars. The tournament doubles as a late prep sprint for the NBA opener and offers a clear read on Sengun’s international usage and fantasy upside this season. Courtside 1891 streams the action in the US, with replays available.

Expect Turkey’s group schedule to test Sengun early (Latvia, Czechia, Portugal, Estonia, Serbia), while Jokic leads Serbia and other big-name stars chase medals. The EuroBasket slate serves as a barometer for adjustment and ceiling, especially for bigs whose team roles hinge on scoring, rebounding and efficiency in high-leverage games.
