Slovenski košarkarji so se v kvalifikacijah za svetovno prvenstvo v Katarju 2027 v petek, 3. juliju, v Tallinnu soočili z Estonijo, medtem ko so bili še vedno oslabljeni zaradi več poškodb in odsotnosti ključnih igralcev. Ključni igralci, kot so Luka Dončić, Vlatko Čančar, Klemen Prepelič in Luka Ščuka, so bili odstranjeni zaradi osebnih razlogov, medtem ko je Urban Kroflič poškodoval sredi tretje četrtine. Kljub temu so slovenski košarkarji izražali optimizem in izpostavili, da imajo cilj dve zmagi in boj za prvo mesto v skupini H. Uspeshna izstopna tekma bi lahko omogočila Sloveniji boljše izhodišče za drugi del kvalifikacij, kjer čakajo zahtevnejše tekmice, kot so Francija, Finska in Madžarska. Z dvema zmagama bi Slovenija napredovala s petimi zmagami in naredila velik korak k uvrstitvi na svetovno prvenstvo.
Selektor Aleksander Sekulić je zaradi poškodb in odsotnosti prisiljen vpoklical več mladih igralcev, kar mu prinaša tudi težave, a tudi prednosti. Mladost prinaša hitrost in hitro tranzicijo, kar mora biti njihova prednost na tekmah. Estonci so opisani kot netipična ekipa, ki veliko teče in skaže ter dosegajo koše iz drugih akcij. Vsak od njih je visok približno dva metra, kar predstavlja zahtevno zalogaj za slovensko ekipo. Sekulić je očakoval, da bo Estonija močnejša kot na prvi tekmi, ker so se ji pridružili nekateri igralci iz ameriške študentske lige, medtem ko je Maik-Kalev Kotsar še igral na Japonskem.
Pomembna je bila tudi pripravljalna tekma v Celju, kjer je Slovenija izgubila z Italijo s 86:83. Ta tekma je bila generalka pred kvalifikacijami in je bila daleč od prijateljskega dvoboji. Slovenija je nastopila močno oslabljena, poleg Dončića so manjkali tudi Čančar, Prepelič, Rok Radović in Ščuka. Urban Kroflič je sredi tretje četrtine poškodoval, kar je zmanjšalo njegove moči. Njegov doprinos do tedaj je bil z 11 točkami, medtem ko je bil tudi Stefan Joksimović poškodoval zaradi nategnjene mišice. Ob tem so bile poškodbe narečene, kar je omogočilo Sekuliću, da je naredil nekaj menjav. Med igralci, ki so se vključili v novo sestavo, so bili tudi Tim Tomažič in Vit Hrabar, mladi košarkar iz reprezentance do 20 let. Hrabar, ki je visok 2,06 metra, je moral hitro zapolniti vrzel, kar je storil s pomočjo trenerja.
Sekulić je izpostavil, da je tekma z Italijo pokazala nekaj težav, predvsem v obrabi, kjer je bilo preveč napak in slabša komunikacija. Pričakuje, da bo fantje med seboj pomagali in da bo delavnost na treningih vedno bila vprašljiva. Tudi Hrovat je izpostavil, da pričakuje polno dvorano v Tallinnu in tudi močnejšo Estonijo, kot je bila na prvi tekmi. Vse to je pripomoglo k izražanju optimizma in predstavitvi, da Slovenija lahko doseže dve zmagi in boj za prvo mesto v skupini.
V nadaljevanju so bili predvideni še drugi tekmeci, kjer Slovenija bo v Ljubljani srečevala Švedsko. Z dvema zmagama bi Slovenija napredovala s petimi zmagami in naredila velik korak k uvrstitvi na svetovno prvenstvo. Sekulić je poudaril, da nihče v sedanji reprezentanci ni brez težav, a nobena ni taka, da bi vplivala na to, ali bo lahko igral. Vse to kaže, da je slovenska košarkarska reprezentanca v procesu ponovnega oblikovanja in priprav, kar bo pomembno za naslednje tekme v kvalifikacijah.
