The Latvian national basketball team is continuing preparations for its World Cup qualification matches against Croatia and Israel. As part of this preparation period, the Latvian Basketball Association (LBS) has been publishing video interviews with national team players, inviting them to reflect on their careers and share their experience.

One of the players featured was Klāvs Čavars, who for many years has been regarded as one of the cornerstones of the Latvian national team. In the interview with the LBS press service, Čavars was asked what advice he would give himself if he could travel back in time to when he was 16 years old. The full answer is available in the video published by the association.

The association encouraged supporters to buy tickets and attend the match to support the Latvian team ahead of the official World Cup qualification games.

The source article does not specify the exact schedule of the qualifying matches against Croatia and Israel, but the team's preparation process continues, and LBS has indicated it will keep sharing content featuring national team players.
