New Boston Celtics forward Oshae Brissett has withdrawn from play in the 2023 FIBA World Cup for the Canadian National Team according to recent reporting from the Toronto Star’s Doug Smith. Per the Star reporter, Brissett “has been ruled out as a precaution as he deals with a knee injury” from World Cup play this fall.
The nature of and severity of the injury was not immediately clear, but it seems that the Canadian big man is going to play it safe less than a year removed from another Boston forward — now Washington Wizards swingman Danilo Gallinari — hurting his knee in FIBA play soon after signing with the Celtics.
Hopefully, the injury is a minor one with Brissett being expected to play some serious minutes for Boston this coming season — stay tuned for updates on this situation as they unfold.
