Reeves: “Did we qualify for the Olympics? I did not know”

We know that the athletes of USA and especially his NBA are generally a little… in their own world when it comes to FIBA ​​tournaments, and they proved it once again.

Team USA may have suffered an unexpected defeat by Lithuania, however he still qualified for the “8” of Mundobasket. In doing so, it also secured a ticket to the 2024 Olympics as one of America’s top two teams in the final rankings. However, it seems that this did not become known to all its players!

Specifically, Mr Austin Reeves was asked after the match with “Lithuania” by the Serbian “sportal.rs” about the fact that the USA went to the Olympics, however, he declared… ignorance about it, although he was happy to learn it! “Did we qualify on Sunday? I did not know that. We were upset about the loss, but I’m glad to hear that. This was one of the goals before the World Cup and we are happy to have achieved it. However, we are now focused on this tournament.”he specifically stated.

Regarding, on the other hand, the fact that Vajtas Kariniauskas flashed his tongue out in front of him after a goal-foul, Reeves replied that “It’s basketball. He struggles, I struggle. It didn’t bother me that he did that. I don’t take it personally. There’s been a lot of times in my career where people have looked at me sideways, done things, but that’s basketball.”
