08h00: Salut la compagnie!

Very happy to see you again to follow together the entry into the running of the French basketball team in this 2023 World Cup against the Canada. Even without NBA champion Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets), the Canadiens are the toughest opponent in this group. Let's not hide, the Blues, thanks to an almost complete squad (excluding Wembanyama and Ntilikina) act as favorites in this World Cup alongside the Americans, largely decimated, and the Spaniards without their two leaders Ricky Rubio and Lorenzo Brown. But before thinking about the title, it will be necessary to start by getting out of this raised hen also composed of Latvia and Lebanon.

>> We meet around 3:15 p.m. to follow together this first match of the Blues in this World Basketball 2023, with a kick-off at; 3:30 p.m.
