On Boston’s Oshae Brissett’s exit from FIBA 2023 World Cup play

Oshae Brissett Fiba World Cup Celtics Boston

In a setback for the Canadian National Team’s World Cup aspirations, Boston Celtics forward Oshae Brissett was ruled out of the tournament due to a knee injury.

While Brissett has a history of knee injuries, the move was deemed precautionary. That should help fans of the storied ball club exhale given the knowledge of veteran big man Danilo Gallinari being lost for all of last season with a knee injury suffered in FIBA play last summer is fresh on their minds.

What does the injury to Brissett mean for his first season playing with the Celtics? How will it impact Team Canada? Should Boston fans be concerned about their frontcourt depth heading into the 2023-24 season with a trio of other oft-injured or aging bigs playing big minutes?

CLNS Media’s Bobby Manning breaks down the situation with the Canadian forward and his exit from the 2023 FIBA World Cup due to concerns about his knee.
