France is moving on to the semifinals behind former New York Knicks guards Evan Fournier and Frank Ntilikina.
Two former New York Knicks are off to the semifinals in the Olympics after France upset Canada 82-73 on Tuesday in Paris.
While Canada got to within five points with just over two minutes to play, that was as close as they would get. France scored five consecutive points to get it back to double digits, killing any hope Canada had of pulling off an Olympic-sized comeback. The leading scorer for the French was former first-round pick Guerschon Yabusele, who had a brief two-year stint in the NBA with the Boston Celtics from 2017-19 but has enjoyed far more success in Europe. No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama had just seven points to go with his 12 rebounds, while Rudy Gobert hardly played and recorded just one rebound.
