France Injury Report, Team News

Despite losing their last 4 preparatory clashes before the Olympics, host nation France have had superb group games so far with a 100% win record in their first two games of Group B. They started their Paris 2024 Olympics journey with a 78-66 win over Brazil before getting a 94-90 overtime win over Japan. 

Despite being a 96.2% favorite in their last game against Japan, they had to settle for a narrow overtime win. In the game, Les Bleus shot 42.5% (34 of 80) from the field, 40.5% (15 of 37) from the 3-point range and just 64.7% (11 of 17) from the charity stripe. Victor Wembanyama was exceptional in the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds. Matthew Strazel added 17 points, Evan Fournier chipped in 14 points, Guerschon Yabusele dropped 13 points and Rudy Gobert contributed 7 points and 15 assists. 

With qualification already secured, the 3-time silver medalist may want to rest some key players in this clash in preparation for the next round. Moreover, speculations have it that Victor Wembanyama was injured in the game against Japan and his availability remains uncertain. 


Germany Injury Report, Team News

Just like France, Germany have already confirmed their place in the next round of this competition after recording wins in all the two games played so far in Group B. They started their Olympics journey with a 97-77 win over Japan before going on to beat Brazil 73-86. Against Brazil, Germany shot 50% (31 of 62) from the field, 31.3% (10 of 32) from the 3-point range and 82.4% (14 of 17) from the charity stripe. 

Dennis Schroder dropped 20 points, Franz Wagner added 17 points, Isaac Bonga and Andreas Obst contributed 15 and 14 points respectively. 

Die Mannschaft have now lost just once (vs USA) in their last 6 games. However, none of their players was reported injured but Gordon Herbert may want to rotate his roster ahead of this clash.
