The French National team star’s squad struggled during the FIBA World Cup in Jakarta, Indonesia. A stunning two-point loss to Latvia recently eliminated them even before the knockout stage.
France had entered the World Cup games ranked No. 5 in the world by FIBA. So they’re beyond disappointed with the outcome. They won silver at the 2022 EuroBasket tournament and nearly beat the USA during the Tokyo Olympics. They won the bronze at the 2019 World Cup. They’ve been one of the best teams in the world for the better part of the last four years.
