World Basketball News: Minnesota Timberwolves basketball player Rudy Gobert was not played as a starter by Vincent Collet in the Paris 2024 Olympic quarterfinal game against Canada. After investigation, Gobert reportedly suffered a finger injury.
In this important match of the 2024 Paris Olympics, Vincent Collet made a courageous decision by not calling Rudy Gobert in the starting lineup against Canada. Many questions arise as to why Collet dared to make this decision even though Gobert is one of the best big men on the team. Gobert himself later stated that he had indeed suffered a finger injury and that it should be paid attention to. He also explained that Collet had a special strategy against Canada with faster players.
Gobert also understands the coach’s decision and therefore does not feel hurt. Ultimately, he is pleased with Collet’s adjustments that allow France to overcome Canada’s obstacles.
“I trust my teammates, the coaches. The plan worked given the way we started the game. There were several reasons why I didn’t play, it was the game against Canada that the coaches were thinking about, but also what could happen in practice, with the finger injury that I experienced,” Gobert said.
“It was definitely a good decision. It was a big adjustment from the coach. I’m happy to be here today. I was on the operating table last night. To be able to play in the quarter-finals of the Olympics is incredible. [Cedera jari] “It’s nothing serious, that’s all I can say,” he said.
