Kristaps Porzingis said he plans to represent Latvia in the upcoming FIBA Eurobasket 2025 this summer.
Porzingis missed the 2024 Olympic Qualifying tournament last summer while recovering from offseason ankle surgery.
The last time he played for the Latvian National Team was in 2023 during the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
“I haven’t had the opportunity to represent my country for a while, unfortunately,” Porzingis said. “I always love so much playing for the national team, honestly.”
“It just gives me a burst of energy in the summertime and to get back with my guys from the national team,” he added.
