And if the return to favor of Ben Simmons went through the national team? The Nets player has been expected by the Boomers in international competition for years, but has to decline or forfeit injury. This time it could be the right one. Australia is of course qualified for the next World Cup to be held from August 25 to September 10 in the Philippines, Indonesia and Japan. And according to coach Brian Goorjian, when asked about DREAM It workso, Simmons might just be in the game.
“Ben is in a state of mind where he absolutely wants to be healthy, fit and ready to play. As I speak to you, I think there is a really significant chance that he will participate. at the World Cup,” Goorjian said.
Absent from the final sprint with Brooklyn after struggling to express himself and flourish when the team revolved around Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, Ben Simmons again suffered from back pain and was forced to rest. With weeks of rest and proper preparation, he could be fit by August.
At the last World Cup, in 2019, Australia finished in 4th place, losing to the French team in the bronze medal match. As with every competition, the Boomers will be ambitious and will have good reason to be, especially if Ben Simmons reinforces them and is in good mental and physical condition. Other players before him have regained morale and confidence through selection. It’s all the harm we wish him.
As a reminder, Australia will be in Group E at the World Cup, along with Germany, Japan and Finland.
