The French basketball team is in total chaos ahead of EuroBasket 2025! Panathinaikos center Mathias Lessort is out after suffering a severe left leg fracture in mid-December. Although he was on the extended roster of coach Frédéric Fauthoux, it’s now official: Lessort won’t be playing. He missed the rest of the season, including the Greek league finals, and medical teams decided it would be too risky for him to participate. Joan Makoundou will replace him on the roster.
But wait, there’s more! France has already lost its two biggest stars – Victor Wembanyama and Rudy Gobert – who both withdrew earlier. Injured Mustafa Fall adds to the center position crisis. This is a massive blow for a team traditionally seen as a top contender in major tournaments.
Can France overcome this disaster, or will EuroBasket 2025 be another heartbreak? One thing’s clear – the center position is a mess, and rivals are licking their lips. Thought basketball was just a game? Think again. This drama is just heating up, and we’ll be watching every second until the final buzzer! What do you think – can France survive without its giants? Drop a comment and let’s see who’s optimistic and who’s already counting the losses!
