French national team member Rudy Gobert is confident in starting the preparations for the FIBA World Cup. Minnesota big man spoke about his doubts in April about his participation.
“As a professional player, I also have to think about my health, my physical recovery, and a lot of things that can be hard to understand for those who don’t know the daily life of an athlete – high level, of an NBA player,” Gobert said.
“The break after the end of the season (1-4 defeat in the first round of the play-offs against Denver, future champion)wasn’t one, I trained a lot in June and July, I feel good and that’s also why I’m here.”
