Basketball|According to information from the French website, Grandison is on the sidelines of his club team’s activities due to a test at the European Championship.
Finland national team player Jacob Grandison has been on the sidelines for the last few weeks due to the activities of his club team Boulazac.
French site Freeket reported that the reason was a test done at the European Championships in August-September. According to the French website, the matter is under consideration by the International Basketball Federation, Fiba.
The news spread to Finland last week. However, the basketball association or the national team have not commented on the matter, despite several attempts.
CEO of the Basketball Association Kati Packalén held the line on Monday.
“This is a very clear matter from our point of view. We have not been contacted about such a matter. It is difficult to comment on a matter we have no information about,” Packalén said.
If something like this is in the news, you’d think you’d try to find out what it’s about?
“We don’t investigate any issues based on rumors. We do get information if there is something like this that has been referred to. We can’t dig into these things based on someone’s writings.”
So you don’t really react to this in any way?
“We have not been contacted about such a matter.”
STT reached Grandison by phone on Thursday of last week. He said he was busy and would get back to me.
The Boulazac Basket Dordogne club, on the other hand, informed STT that it will not publicly comment on the reason for the absence.
Grandison27, moved to Boulazac, who play in the French premier league, in September. Grandison scored 4.4 points per game in the eight matches of Susisjeng’s EC tournament, which ended in fourth place.
