Rudy Gobert Suits Up Against Canada Despite Finger Injury
4 months agoMinnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert (finger) grabbed one rebound in three minutes during Tuesday's Olympic quarterfinal 82-73 France win over Canada. He suffered a left ring finger injury during practice before the knockout rounds. Gobert's minutes were also limited due to player matchups in the contest. With the big man sitting out, Victor Wembanyama finished with just seven points, going 2-of-10 shooting from the field. However, Guerschon Yabusele and Isaia Cordinier stepped up for France, combining for 42 points in the winning effort. The four-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year has a day to rest his ailing finger before Thursday's semifinal game against Germany.
