It was announced, feared, it’s now official! Unsurprisingly, and as we revealed on June 25, Victor Wembanyama will not compete in the European Championship with the French basketball team at the end of the summer (from August 27 to September 14). Confirmation fell this Friday morning during a press conference organized at the headquarters of the French basketball federation (13th arrondissement of Paris).

A list that will be reduced to 12 names just before the euro.
