Latvia Roster for 2024 FIBA OQT
00 – Rodions Kurucs
5 – Mareks Mejeris
8 – Davis Bertans
9 – Dairis Bertans
10 – Janis Timma
11 – Rolands Smits
12 – Arturs Strautins

19 – Rihards Lomazs
55 – Arturs Zagars
66 – Kristers Zoriks

Head Coach: Luca Banchi
Assistant Coaches: Janis Gailitis and Arturs Visockis-Rubenia

No Kristaps Porzingis as he is recovering from an injury he sustained from the NBA Finals. Latvia finished 5th place in the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila and they beat France, Spain, Italy and Lithuania before losing to eventual champions Germany in the quarterfinals.

Players to watch out for are Arturs Zagars who made a record 17 assists in the recent FIBA World Cup and NBA veteran Davis Bertans.

This will be a tough assignment for Gilas Pilipinas as they are also playing with the support of the sold-out crowd at home. Good luck Gilas Pilipinas!
