Kristaps Porzingis has announced his return to the Latvian national basketball team, planning to compete in the FIBA Eurobasket 2025. After missing the 2024 Olympic Qualifying tournament due to ankle surgery, Porzingis expressed his eagerness to represent his country again, emphasizing the unique energy he gains from national team play. Having suffered from injuries that kept him sidelined since 2023, he clarified that his absence was never a lack of desire but rather due to physical setbacks. Currently, he feels great as he prepares for the playoffs with the Celtics.
"I haven't had the opportunity to represent my country for a while, unfortunately. I always love so much playing for the national team, honestly."
"It's just a different atmosphere with the national team and I always look forward to it."
