Heat will be without Kyle Lowry and the 76ers will be without Joel Embiid in Game 1.

At 28, the Philadelphia 76ers player may finally get the jersey of the French national team and according to the same report, a visit to France is planned by the end of June to finalize the paperwork. FIBA regulations allow only one naturalized player per national team. The France team has never used it until now, so it would be a first. -via EuroHoops.net / May 2, 2022

French national team captain Nicolas Batum announced he is skipping the 2022 EuroBasket in a recent interview with First Team.

Nando De Colo confirmed back in March that he will also be missing for the French NT.
Why each World Cup 2022 contender can win it all (SPOILER: USMNT will not)
The Soccer Expert™ knows exactly what will happen in Qatar.
You’ll be doing more than inhaling turkey, mashed potatoes, and copious amounts of pie this Thanksgiving.
For the first time, you’ll have another major sport to watch. Instead of that game they call “football” — despite someone using their foot only a dozen or so times a game — you’ll have the option to watch international soccer at its highest level. Woo!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I’m talking about the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. Soccer during the American holiday season: What a time to be alive.
On Friday, FIFA revealed the eight, four-team groups and overall favorites for this year’s tournament. Everyone, of course, complained, celebrated, and picked apart their place among the world soccer elite.
I will go ahead and do the hard work for you and tell you who and why will win that delightful golden ball on a small pedestal. I’m something of a Soccer Expert™ myself, so you can rest assured that each of these thoughts will age quite well.
Take it away, Mr. Osborne!
