Oshae Brissett, a player for the Boston Celtics, has decided to withdraw from the Canadian national team for the upcoming FIBA World Cup. Brissett made this decision due to personal reasons but has expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to represent his country. This withdrawal comes as a blow to Canada’s already depleted roster, as they have been dealing with multiple player absences. The FIBA World Cup is set to take place in China, and Canada will have to compensate for the loss of Brissett as they aim for a strong performance in the tournament..
The FIBA World Cup does not have the same prestige as the Olympics. This may explain why a lot of NBA stars are taking their summer vacations rather than joining their national teams.
There are some exceptions to this like Jalen Brunson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jordan Clarkson among others. However, a willing player for Team Canada could have been on his country’s squad, but he followed suit with most people in the league. Oshae Brissett is locked in preparing for the incoming season with the Jayson Tatum-led Boston Celtics.
For our discussion on Wemby’s potential to surpass LeBron, listen below:
The new Celtics forward will not play in the FIBA World Cup. Oshae Brissett will instead focus on the rehabilitation of his injured knee, per Doug Smith of The Toronto Star.
Brissett has a history of being bothered by the same knee since he was 15 years old. Getting it treated before the season allows him to recover just in time for the season. Moreover, he is not the only Boston player that withdrew from their national teams. Al Horford is also no longer playing with Karl Anthony-Towns for the Dominican Republic.
A lot can be said about his dedication to the team way before he even plays with the Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown-led core. Oshae Brissett knows that his presence as a backup wing is going to be important.
Jordan Walsh is only getting to know how he fits with the NBA. Also, both Jays are going to suffer fatigue at some point in the season. The Canada player getting ready to brace all of that may just be a defining moment en route to Banner 18.
Many NBA players are choosing to skip the FIBA World Cup in favor of summer vacations, as it does not hold the same prestige as the Olympics. However, some players like Jalen Brunson, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Jordan Clarkson have decided to represent their national teams. Oshae Brissett, a new player for the Boston Celtics, will not be playing in the World Cup due to his injured knee. He is prioritizing his rehabilitation to be ready for the upcoming NBA season. Brissett’s dedication to the team is crucial as a backup wing, especially considering the potential fatigue of his teammates, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown.
