Group B

Senegal did not participate in the Qualifying Tournament. On 28 June, they informed FIBA about COVID-19 related disruptions to their preparations in Germany. Afterwards, their scheduled games with Puerto Rico and Italy did not take place. [8]

Therefore, in Group B only one match has been played between Puerto Rico and Italy: the winner of this game finished first of group B and faced the second placed team of Group A, the other team finished second of Group B and faced the first placed team of group A, in the semi-finals. In fact, FIBA did not considered Senegal as a participant and did not applied the Rule 20.2.1, which could have awarded Senegal's opponents the game with score as 20 to 0 (Article 20 discusses the games lost by forfeit). FIBA indeed did not drew up any standings. [9]
