Rudy Gobert was one of five NBA players named to France’s Olympic men’s basketball roster on Thursday.
Gobert, the Utah Jazz center, is joined by fellow NBAers Nicolas Batum, Evan Fournier, Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot and Frank Ntilikina.
The Jazz have the NBA’s best record and could go deep into the playoffs, which could complicate Gobert’s Olympic plans.
A potential NBA Finals Game 7 will be on July 22. The first men’s basketball games in Tokyo are on July 25, including France vs. the U.S.
“Obviously, if we go to the NBA Finals, and we go to a Game 7, I might miss the Opening Ceremony, but hopefully we can figure it out,” Gobert said in December.
