EuroBasket 2025 is drawing more than players this summer. A host of NBA executives and coaches have been spotted courtside, using the international event to scout talent and strengthen relationships while the league’s calendar remains relatively quiet.
Who is in the arena? The Milwaukee Bucks sent both general manager Jon Horst and head coach Doc Rivers, accompanied by assistant coach Darvin Ham. The Los Angeles Lakers assembled an even larger group, including vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka, governor Jeanie Buss and senior adviser Kurt Rambis.
Other familiar faces include Portland Trail Blazers head coach Chauncey Billups, newly hired Sacramento Kings front-office executive B.J. Armstrong, Kings assistant coach Doug Christie and Denver Nuggets president Josh Kroenke.
Why now? With free agency largely complete and NBA training camps still several weeks away, EuroBasket offers a timely opportunity to evaluate emerging talent, compare notes with peers and engage in off-season networking.
The tournament continues to serve as a valuable stop on the NBA scouting circuit, and the presence of so many league influencers underscores its growing importance.
