Meanwhile, Mathias Lessort will be taking a cautious approach to his recovery. After recently returning from an ankle injury, he will be rested for the remainder of the FIBA World Cup 2023. This decision aims to avoid any potential risks to his health.

France is left with Guerschon Yabusele in the frontcourt.

France faced defeats in their first two games within Group H, losing to Canada and Latvia. Consequently, their chances of contending for the World Cup title have come to an end.

In the case of a victory against Lebanon, their highest possible placement would be the third spot within the group.
