Who have I missed
No guarantee FIBA is going to allow Kyrie to play for them. Especially now coming off an injury. But you missed Dyson's younger brother, Dash, who is looking like another lotto pick in 2026. And Rocco Zikarsky, 7'3 center.
What has an elbow injury got to do with it?
Kyrie is an Australian citizen so I don't think FIBA can really stop him. Players have switched international teams before haven't they? Like Embid.
Please educate me if I'm completely off...?
Also how does the elbow injury influence FIBA's decision about letting him switch teams- if they have to approve that switch?
Thankyou
Kyrie actually played for the Team USA senior Olympic team in FIBA competition. He needs permission from FIBA and Team USA to be able to make the jump. It's unprecedented for someone like Kyrie who medaled with one country to play for another one. That's why I said we'll see.
Kyrie also tore his ACL and is probably out for most of next season, so he won't be building any chemistry with the Boomers on the court for at least that long.
Just saying a lot of moving parts on his piece of any puzzle.
