On Sunday, a report from Sportando indicated that the Fédération Française de Basketball, or the French Basketball Federation finalized the roster of its men’s national team for the 2024 Olympics. In the list, Washington Wizards guard Bilal Coulibaly was reportedly named to the final roster. This is the first time that Coulibaly has represented Les Bleus at the senior level for international competition.

The French Basketball Federation hasn’t officially said anything as of the time of this posting. But again, if Coulibaly is playing significant minutes against top tier international competition in friendlies, it wouldn’t make sense to play him these kind of minutes and yet cut him in the last minute.
