Slovenia is preparing to face Germany in the EuroBasket 2025 quarterfinals, but will have to do so without one of its young talents. It has been announced that Mark Padjen will not be available for the game due to a knee injury sustained during a training session, which had already forced him to miss the match against Italy. Although the injury is not considered serious, the player will need a few days of rest to fully recover. The 19-year-old Padjen saw limited action during the group stage, recording 2 rebounds, 1 steal, and 1 turnover against Belgium, as well as a brief appearance against Poland. His absence is not expected to disrupt the team's balance significantly, but it does represent a loss in terms of roster depth. Having secured their place in the knockout round, Slovenia will look to overcome this setback and continue their run in the tournament.
