[autotag]Khaman Maluach[/autotag] might not play in Paris this summer after all.
The 7-footer and incoming Duke freshman seemed like an inevitability after he played for South Sudan at the FIBA Basketball World Cup last year, the team that helped the country qualify for this year’s Olympic Games.
However, as of this week, the men’s national team roster is listed online by the South Sudanese Basketball Federation, and Maluach is nowhere to be seen.
Maluach was given consideration for the squad, proven by an invite to the country’s training camp earlier this month. However, it seems like he won’t be on the 12-man squad.
South Sudan plays the United States in an exhibition game on Saturday. The game, played in London, will be aired on FOX.
