France, Heurtel still excluded from roster: no Olympics in Paris

France, no go for Thomas Heurtel: he is still excluded from the roster of the national team. Relations between the French Basketball Federation and the player have been strained for years, as Heurtel chose to play in Russia after signing a document pledging not to play there following the Russian attack on Ukraine.

Although the parties seemed to be moving toward reconciliation, the French Basketball Federation changed its mind again after Heurtel was a guest on Tony Parker’s program on SKWEEK, when the player stated that “that oath was false, everyone knew it.” This was reported by Yann Ohnona of L’Equipe.

France’s roster for the Paris 2024 Games will be announced at 17:15 CET on L’Equipe.
