Slovenia vs Venezuela FIBA World Cup 2023: Both teams record in their tuneups

Slovenia

The team has a 3-4 record with their tuneups as the depth wasn't enough to consistently support Luka Doncic on the court. They closed their tuneups trip with a commanding win against Japan by a score of 103-68.

Luka Doncic has looked electric in preparation for the World Cup tournament, albeit not playing in every tuneup game for Slovenia.

Venezuela

Venezuela, on the other hand, had a disappointing 0-9 record as the roster is mostly filled with veterans. The younger players involved do have potential but not much experience in international competitions. They came close to pulling off their first win in their tuneups against Jordan but ended up losing with a score of 87-89.

Some of the players to watch from Venezuela are Nestor Colmenares, Windi Graterol, Michael Carrera, Jhornan Zamora, and Garly Sojo.
