Brother Xinxuan will not participate in the World Cup and expressed his hope to play in the Olympic Games.
Live broadcast on August 11 news letter brother himself announced in the social media that he would not represent Greece in this year’s men’s basketball World Cup.
Letter elder brother wrote in the social media: “Everyone knows my passion and love for the national team, and it will never change. Since the end of the NBA season, I have been challenging my physical limit, becoming the player I need to be and helping our team achieve the goals we set.”
“But after several months of work and many meetings with medical staff, it was obvious that I was not ready to participate in the World Cup. This is not an option, and it is the only option for me to make sure that I can go back to the level of basketball that I have tried so far in my career. I was very disappointed with the result, but it was a decision made with the medical staff. I will continue to spur myself to prepare for the next call to my name. The ultimate goal of me personally and our team is to get the qualification to participate in the 2024 Olympic Games. It will be an honor to represent my national team next year.”
At the end of June this year, brother Xin received knee cleaning surgery and has been recovering since then.
The 2023 men’s basketball World Cup will be kicked off on 25th day of this month. In this World Cup, Greece, the United States, Jordan and New Zealand are divided into Group C together.
