Nebraska freshman Leo Curtis will be in action beginning this weekend, as he will represent Iceland at the 2025 FIBA U20 EuroBasket in Heraklion, Greece.
 
The competition takes place from July 12-20, as Iceland is in Group D along with Serbia, France and Slovenia. Pool place takes place July 12-14, with the Round of 16 starting on July 16. Teams are seeded for the Round of 16 stage based on their group position. The competition will continue in the form of a bracket until the Final on July 20, with Classification Games also determining each of the 16 positions.
 
Curtis, a 7-foot-1, 220-pound forward from Reykjavik, Iceland, is representing his national team for the third straight summer. He previously played in the 2024 U20 EuroBasket and the 2023 U18 EuroBasket events. He spent most of June with the Huskers before heading to Iceland to train in preparation for the event.
 
Curtis came to the U.S. last season and played at CATS (Mass.) Academy, where he averaged 12.3 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.1 assists per game. He helped the school to a 28-7 record, a runner-up finish in the New England Preparatory School Athletic Council (NEPSAC) Class AA tournament and a No. 5 national ranking. For his efforts, he was a first-team All-NEPSAC Class AA honoree.
