Luka Doncic's Slovenia have followed Nikola Jokic's Serbia out of the door, but the standard at EuroBasket 2025 has been so outrageously high, the shocks so frequent, that we're not surprised in the slightest. Germany vs Finland tips off Friday's semi-finals, with Greece vs Turkiye to follow.

Reigning world champions Germany remain unbeaten, and could yet become only the fourth nation to hold the World Cup and EuroBasket titles simultaneously. They put up historical numbers under assistant coach Alan Ibrahimagic, and have continued on in the same vein now that Alex Mumbru is back, but Finland, in the semis for the first time, produced the upset of the tournament by eliminating Serbia.

The only other unbeaten team is Turkiye, the EuroBasket Cinderella. Alperen Sengun, the youngest player to pull off a EuroBasket triple-double and the Player of the Game in all of his games, is the tournament MVP front-runner. But standing in his way now is Giannis Antetokounmpo. Turkiye vs Greece is a rivalry that needs no introduction.
