FIBA reports:
Ben Gordon will not be making his international debut for Great Britain this summer after all.
British Basketball on Monday confirmed that the Detroit Pistons guard won’t be a part of Chris Finch’s charges as they head for EuroBasket in Lithuania at the end of the month.
The 28-year-old guard decided to sit out because of complications regarding the NBA lockout and the proposed insurance coverage.
“We are obviously very disappointed that Ben is not able to join us this year but we fully understand and respect his decision,” said British Basketball Performance Director Chris Spice.
