France vs Israel Preview

France has yet to taste defeat in its opening two games. Even without most of their silver-medal-winning Olympic roster, the French have continued to dominate, seeing off a Luka Doncic-inspired (39 points, eight rebounds and nine assists) Slovenia on Saturday.

Their young core of Guerschon Yabusele, Alexander Sarr, Zaccharie Risacher and Bilal Coulibaly have stood out.

Israel, meanwhile, sits at 1-1. In its opening game, Roman Sorkin finished with 31 points, while Avdija added 20 points and nine rebounds. The narrow loss to Poland will give the team enough morale to face the French, who will look to continue their impressive run.
