Great Britain beat Switzerland 110-75 in Fribourg in the opening match of its pre-qualifying campaign for EuroBasket 2029. The victory put Britain atop Group E. Marc Steutel's team won each of the four quarters, leading 79-51 at the end of the third.
Barcelona forward Tosan Evbuomwan made his debut for Britain's senior team and scored 21 points in 25 minutes. Boston Celtics centre Amari Williams also debuted, contributing eight points and seven rebounds in 19 minutes. Josh Uduje led Britain with 24 points.
Evbuomwan spent three years in the NBA, making 50 appearances before joining Barcelona earlier this summer. Williams finished his first season with the Celtics before representing Britain. The two players' addition followed Britain's failure to qualify for the 2027 FIBA World Cup.
Britain played Slovakia in Newcastle on Sunday, according to the source. The team faces a second home match against Switzerland on November 29 and travels to Slovakia on February 25, 2027. The winner of each pre-qualifying group advances to full qualifying in 2028 and 2029.
