After the training camp in Montpellier, the head coach Vincent Collet has decided to part ways with William Howard, according to information obtained by BeBasket.

The LDLC ASVEL Villeurbanne forward played just over 2 minutes only during the friendly match, converting 1 free throw out of 2 during the time.

With Andrew Albicy and Moustapha Fall out for EuroBasket 2022 due to injuries, France now has the full roster ready for both the main tournament and the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.

With Albicy, there is still hope from the French Basketball Federation though. "He will receive appropriate care. He may be reviewed later and reinstated if his condition allows it," the organization said at the time of the injury.

However, Vincent Collet wasn't hopeful. "We still have a little time but I don't see him arriving the day before," he said. "And even if he does, we have to be able to test him in full capacity. Especially, since the players who may be affected by this change do not deserve it. It's not just 'I come back and I take someone's place'."

France has already played all planned friendly matches. Now two matches against the Czech Republic and Bosnia and Herzegovina await in the 2023 FIBA World Cup Qualifiers.
