Trophy Macedonia basketball tournament begins in Skopje on Thursday, with the national teams of Bosnia, the Netherlands and Portugal facing off against each other, to prepare for the pre-qualifications for the 2019 World Championship.
Coach Jordanco Davitkov said that he will have a clear picture about the state of the team following the tournament, and the previous friendly matches against Slovakia and Bulgaria. Jordan Theodore and Bojan Krstevski will not be available in the Macedonian team, and Dime Tasovski’s participation is uncertain.
“We are not going to be led by securing good results. We all want to win, but the main thing at this tournament is to see the strength of the team and also to avoid some additional injuries on top of Theodore and Krstevski”, said Davitkov.
In its first match of the three days long tournament Macedonia plays against Portugal while Bosnia faces the Netherlands.
