Australian Opals Captain Sami Whitcomb to Miss FIBA World Cup
The Australian Opals have suffered a major setback ahead of their upcoming international campaign. Captain Sami Whitcomb has officially withdrawn from the tournament.
The FIBA World Cup is scheduled to tip off next week in Germany. This sudden absence creates a massive leadership and tactical void for the national team.
Whitcomb has been a cornerstone of the roster for years. The coaching staff must now quickly adjust their game plan without their floor general.
Fans and teammates alike await further announcements regarding team adjustments. The tournament in Germany will proceed without the influential guard.
