France national team leader Tony Parker said he could miss Rio Olympic basketball qualifying and the Games themselves this summer, at least in part due to his wife’s pregnancy, according to French media.
Parker, 33, said his wife is due in late July, which would fall in between France’s Olympic qualifying tournament (July 4-10 in the Philippines) and the Rio Games (Aug. 6-21).
Parker led France at the 2012 Olympics with 15.7 points per game. The French lost two games in London, to the gold medalist U.S. in group play and silver medalist Spain in the quarterfinals.
