Vincent Collet can already draw a line on the presence of Joakim Noah for the FIBA World Cup, Spain 2014. Uncertain in October, the French pivot officially gives up defending the racket of the Blues. This is the content of the communiqué of DTN of the France team of basketball, Patrick Beesley, published on the website of the FFBB. “(…) I was able to speak with Joakim Noah who told me he could not get released next summer to compete in the World Cup in Spain.”

This is a new package for Jooks with the Blues after the London Olympics 2012 and the Eurobasket 2013. However, the silver medalist at the Euro 2011 did not put an end to his international career. According to the statement, the All Star interior “remains focused “ for “the Rio 2016 Olympic Games project and the qualification for (EuroBasket 2015).”

Furthermore within the Chicago Bulls, Beesley who visited USA during the All Star weekend, met with other French internationals. If Noah will be in action for the World Cup, the leader of San Antonio Tony Parker gives time for reflection “Tony Parker continues the statement, told me that no decision would be taken before the end of the NBA season and it will depend on the route achieved by the Spurs.” World Cup of basketball will take place from 30 August to 14 September 2014 on the Spanish soil. European defending Champion, France is in the same group as Egypt and the host country.
