Victor Wembanyama has been named to France’s squad for the opening two games of the 2027 FIBA World Cup European qualifiers in late August, against Slovenia and Sweden, the French Basketball Federation announced, per HoopsHype. It will be his first appearance for France since the 2024 Paris Olympics; he sat out July’s window because the San Antonio Spurs‘ run to the Western Conference finals kept him unavailable.
For fantasy managers, there is nothing to act on now, but a healthy Wembanyama cleared to play international ball in August is a reassuring availability signal for anyone holding him as a franchise dynasty piece.
