Boston Celtics two way big man Amari Williams helped the British National Team beat the Swiss National Team 110-75 in FIBA 2029 EuroBasket pre-qualifying play, chipping in 8 points, 7 rebounds, and 2 assists as the team's starting center in just under 19 minutes of floor time for Great Britain. The University of Kentucky alum shot 4-of-7 from the floor overall, missed both of his 2 attempts from the free throw line, and in keeping with his usual style of putting up points in the NBA, did not attempt any shots from beyond the arc in the win.
Guard Joshua Uduje led the British National Team with 24 points, and fellow NBAer and Great Britain teammate Tosan Evbuomwan added another 21 points off the bench in the Group E victory.
