Relegated to the bench against Canada, Rudy Gobert was officially benched by Vincent Collet as he explained to journalists.
How did the pivot take all that? Pretty well, he who has full confidence in his teammates to win.
Was Rudy Gobert benched or was he sidelined against Canada due to injury? The question may seem strange and yet, the mystery remains at this stage.
It must be said that Gobert was not a starter Tuesday night, Vincent Collet having preferred to put Victor Wembanyama at position 5, accompanied by Guerschon Yabusele in the paint.
A desire of the coach according to his own admission to journalists.
Knowing that Gobert has not been irreproachable since the start of the competition, we logically thought of a “sanction” from Collet, who indeed preferred another lineup to dominate Canada.
However, in a press conference, Rudy contradicted the coach by mentioning an injury and even an operation on his finger on Monday, which would explain his playing time.
Rudy Gobert honest about his low playing time
Gobert only spent a few minutes on the court and didn’t have a big impact, Collet even deciding to send him back to the bench quickly to react.
But then how did the player in question experience this very strange match, all on the sidelines? Rather well, he who totally trusts his teammates to win.
And we can say that he was right.
