Great Britain’s men have had their World Cup qualifier against Belarus on Friday 25 February postponed by European governing body Fiba.
They are waiting to hear if the return leg, due to be played in Newcastle the following Monday, will still go ahead.
GB had taken UK government advice not to travel to the area near Ukraine but had to wait for a formal postponement.
The game is likely to be added to GB’s two scheduled qualifiers in June and July against Greece and Turkey.
Men’s coach Marc Steutel has named an extended squad of 24.
