Rudy Gobert's role with the France National Team at the Paris Olympics has shrunk to virtually nothing, as he came off the bench for the second straight game on Thursday.

He ultimately played only five minutes, almost all of which came in the first half, except for a free throw rebounding situation late in the game.
