The captain and top scorer in the history of the French basketball team Sandrine Gruda, spared since the start of preparation for the World Cup (September 22-October 1 in Australia), finds the group reunited from Friday in Pau, announced the French Federation.
Gruda (35, 2,784 pts in 215 caps) did not participate at the start of the preparation and in his first match on Sunday in Marseille against Bosnia-Herzegovina (87-52) due to knee pain.
Les Bleues will also register from Wednesday the reinforcement of Marine Johannès, eliminated Tuesday from the WNBA play-offs with the New York Liberty.
The rear, said the Federation, will “recharge for a few days” before finding the group, which are still absent the leader Gaby Williams (Seattle Storm) and the interior Iliana Rupert (Las Vegas Aces), opposed from Sunday in the WNBA Semifinals.
Jean-Aimé Toupane’s players will face Belgium in Pau on September 2 before meeting this opponent two days later on his ground in Kortrijk, the last preparation match before leaving for Australia on September 9.
