French European Cup suffered heavy damage! Saar s calf injury was reimbursed, fortunately no surgery is needed for the new season

Sal actually wants to reimburse the remaining European Cup games! But looking at the report of Wizards Josh Robbins, who said that he could catch up with the start of the NBA season without surgery, he breathed a sigh of relief. This wave was really "sad and joyful", which not only made him feel sorry for the French team, but also glad for the Wizards fans.

I still remember that Saar was injured, which was the key game for France to win Slovenia 103-95. I specially reviewed the highlights: He played 22 minutes, scored 12 points and 5 rebounds, and also sent 2 blocks and 1 steal. Especially the layup blocked Doncic, which fully reflected the role of the French domestic line "protective umbrella". Who would have thought that this battle would hurt his calf and he didn't even play against Israel in the future. Including this game, he played 2 games in this European Cup, averaging 9.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1 block per game. Although the data is not an explosive, as an important rotation of the French domestic line, his absence has had a great impact on the team.

Now France has just won Poland by Abussele's outbreak. Finally, it has been difficult to disrupt Group D into a situation where "three teams are the same", but the result is that Saar is missing, the inside fulcrum. When encountering an impactful team like Poland and Israel, the inside defense will probably leak - I can't let Abussele be a scorer and a frame guard, right? This is not good news for France to rush to the knockout stage.

But for the Wizards, this is definitely a "luck of misfortune". Last season, Sal was the second in 2024, playing 67 regular season games, averaging 13 points, 6.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.5 blocks per game, and was directly selected into the first team of the All-Rookie, with a visible potential. If this injury is serious and the surgery is necessary, it will affect the start of the new season, and no one will hold on the Wizards' inside. Now that we have confirmed that we can fully recover and can catch up with the new season, it means that the Wizards have retained the core of the future inside line, which is more important than anything else.

To be honest, this young man Saar is hard-working enough to play basketball. He is willing to do dirty and tiring work in the national team or the NBA. Although it is a pity to retire from the European Cup this time, it has at least not affected his long-term career. Do you think France can still reach the semi-finals of the European Cup without Saar? How many more games can the Wizards win in the East with Sar's inside in the new season? Anyway, I think the Wizards have found the treasure. As long as he stays healthy, he may become an All-Star Center in the future!
