RIGA, Latvia (AP) — France and Slovenia were slotted into the same group for this year's EuroBasket tournament on Thursday, meaning it's possible that Victor Wembanyama — if he's cleared to play — could meet Luka Doncic when the event starts in late August.

Wembanyama has not played an NBA game for San Antonio since the All-Star break because of deep vein thrombosis found in one of his shoulders.
