Andrew Albicy recovered from a thigh injury and was medically cleared to rejoin the France, the French Federation of Basketball announced. Albicy, 32, is the 13th player in Vincent Collet’s preliminary selection before the EuroBasket 2022.
The Gran Canaria guard was forced to leave the team’s preparation three weeks ago dealing with a thigh injury. There is also hope Olympiacos center Moustapha Fall can rejoin the training camp after initially being cut due to injury.
Albicy is considered doubtful to play in the top end of FIBA’s international window but is in the mix for the 2022 EuroBasket.
Andrew Albicy is back 🙌
