I thought we were done after the USA and Serbia games, but great to get a hitout against France, who would be expecting to do well at the Olympics at home and with Wemby coming off a good NBA season.
After a rough game against the USA, Patty Mills seems to be getting into the groove, which is nice. Looks like a dislocated finger for Exum though, so we’ll see how he goes after that because he was getting the most minutes off the bench in the previous games…
" The players who missed selection in Australia’s final 12, Matisse Thybulle , Xavier Cooks , Chris Goulding , DJ Vasiljevic and Jack White could be called upon, if Exum is unavailable for selection."
In terms of the injury, everything I’ve read says “unclear”, but I guess it only happened 12 hours or so ago.
Exum cleared of a fracture, but did suffer a compound dislocation. Looks like he’ll miss the opener against Spain, but should be right for the rest of the tournament.
Meanwhile, the US have had a pretty underwhelming finish to their warmups with a last second 1 point over South Sudan followed by a 4 point win over Germany. Star power and individual brilliance will probably get them across the line still.
