No. 1 draft pick candidate Victor Wembanyama out for Eurobasket due to injury

Bad news for the French national team since the country’s basketball federation announced that Victor Wembanyama will not participate in the preparation for the 2022 EuroBasket. Wembanyama had made the first cut including 17 players selected by Vincent Collet, but the Metroplitans 92 forward has not recovered from an injury sustained at the very end of the season with LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne.
