Breaking News about Victor Wembanyama's participation (or lack thereof) in the upcoming Eurobasket
We will see if the Frenchman ends up playing with the French national team next summer
The participation of Victor Wembanyama in EuroBasket 2025, which will take place from August 27 to September 14 in Latvia, Cyprus, Finland, and Poland, remains uncertain following the injury that ended his NBA season. The French center, number one pick of the 2023 Draft, was diagnosed with a thrombosis in his right shoulder after the All-Star Game and subsequently underwent surgery.
Since then, Wemby has been seen on the San Antonio Spurs bench in several games, suggesting a recovery in progress. His desire to represent France in the continental tournament has been confirmed by Frédéric Fauthoux, the national team coach.
“We spoke with Victor before his operation; he is motivated to be part of the team. We will see how he progresses physically and make the decision at the right time. Until then, everything remains uncertain. But he feels good, and his rehabilitation is progressing correctly,” Fauthoux declared after the group stage draw, where France was paired with Slovenia, a team led by Luka Doncic.
As his recovery progresses, the French Basketball Federation will assess his physical condition to determine if the young talent will be able to participate in the competition, where the French team will be seeking a title that has eluded them in recent years.
