LOS ANGELES – Lena Bilić, Christina Karamouzi and Lina Jerkovic are headed to Lithuania for the FIBA U20 Women’s EuroBasket and will represent three teams at the international competition from July 3-12.

Bilić headlines Croatia’s junior national team Group A, which includes Israel, host Lithuania, and Spain. She was named one of 12 players to watch at the tournament as a high-impact contributor after helping lift Croatia out of Division B last summer. Bilić was the U18 Division B tournament's top-scorer with 23.6 points per game in 2025, and she capped her home country’s bronze-medal run with 41 points in the final game of the tournament. She averaged 6.0 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game across her seven appearances. Bilić will be making her sixth tournament appearance with Croatia; she’s averaged 17.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.4 assists in 35 games played for her junior national team.

Karamouzi and Sweden will be in Group B with Germany, Hungary and Latvia. It will be her second appearance with the Swedish junior national team. Karamouzi joined the Swedes for the FIBA U16 Women’s European Championship Division B in 2022. The 5-foot-11 guard averaged 3.7 points and 2.3 rebounds in seven games played in Montenegro.

Jerkovic joins Slovenia in Group D along with Belgium, France and Türkiye. She will make her fourth appearance for the junior national team in as many summers; Jerković averaged 10.4 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.0 assists at the 2025 FIBA U18 Women’s EuroBasket in seven games. She has averaged 9.4 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 21 appearances over the past three years.
