Nearly one in every four NBA players last season was born outside the United States -- and that includes some of the league's very best.

With Giannis Antetokounmpo and Nikola Jokic knocked out of the tournament, Luka Doncic is undoubtedly the best player remaining at EuroBasket 2022.

If Poland somehow pulls an upset, Slovenia will still get to play one more game for a chance at third place.

Belgium, Slovenia found themselves with a single-digit deficit in the fourth quarter before eventually pulling away.

Luka Doncic is the second-leading scorer of the tournament with a 28-point average and a 47-point performance against France in the group stage in his pocket. After France took a win against Italy in the first quarterfinal of the day, Luka Doncic's Slovenia and Poland go head to head in the last match of the day to determine the one remaining semifinal participant. Slovenia arrives at the matchup after a convincing win against Belgium even though their opponents gave a fight throughout the vast majority of the match.

Luka Doncic's Slovenia squad was eliminated by Poland in EuroBasket 2022 play. Now the focus shifts to the Dallas Mavericks.

Poland was held to just 1-13 (7.7 percent) shooting overall in the third quarter. They even took a 65-64 lead early in the fourth quarter, but were unable to out-execute Poland down the stretch. Poland deployed an aggressive defensive strategy by frequently pre-rotating help and overloading the strong side when Doncic had the basketball. Slovenia had trailed 58-39 at halftime after scoring just 13 points in the second period. Both teams kept things close at the very start as Poland held just a three-point edge through one quarter. Despite being a 13.5-point favorite heading into the game, Slovenia suffered a shocking 90-87 loss, resulting in their elimination.

"Congratulations to France," Italy coach Gianmarco Pozzecco said. Very painful, of course," Datome said. The other half of the semifinal bracket was set Tuesday: Germany will play Spain, also on Friday. "I don't really believe in luck," Gobert said.

Goran Dragić put together a solid run in EuroBasket 2022, but it ended in sour fashion on Wednesday: An upset loss in the quarterfinals to Poland.

Poland moves on to face France in the semifinals, with Germany and Spain looming across the bracket, setting up a surprising final four.

Dragić, who returned from retirement from international play to participate in Slovenia's run, finished his final game with 17 points (7-for-15 shooting), 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers, bringing his averages for the tournament to 14.9 points, 3.7 assists, 3.6 rebounds, 2.6 turnovers and 1.6 steals in seven appearances. However, Poland punched back, reclaiming leads of eight points at the 2:37 mark and nine points with 52 seconds to play. The game hardly followed a conventional script.
