Victor Wembanyama made his debut for Team France last summer, nearly taking the gold medal from the Americans on his home court at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
While EuroBasket is not the same as the Olympics, it is still a major FIBA tournament, and the French are anticipated to maintain the lead they established last summer.
Unfortunately, Wembanyama has yet to resume full-contact basketball workouts, and even with his return imminent, he will not play for Les Bleus this summer.
As much as fans would like to see him play earlier than the start of the regular season, the Spurs can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that their superstar is prepared to slow things down when necessary.
“Returning to team training?” I believe we are very close to that, certainly,” RC Buford told Le Parisien.
Wembanyama has been seen this summer playing soccer, kung-fu, and participating in pickup games all around the world, though he has yet to begin regular workouts with the Spurs. However, his journey indicates that his deep vein thrombosis is in the rearview mirror, and now he merely needs to go back onto Shape
Just looking at the images he’s uploaded of his travels, he appears to have gained strength and weight, much to the joy of admirers.
Without Wembanyama, the French National Team will have a difficult task, and Rudy Gobert’s absence will not help. Bilal Coulibaly, a Washington Wizards forward, is anticipated to play a significant part for France.
