Australian NBA star Josh Giddey will be the face of the Boomers at Paris 2024 and beyond but he admits he would like to reduce his time in the spotlight after a torrid NBA season.
During a meeting with media and select fans at a Foot Locker’s QV store, Giddey was reminded of his childhood hijinks at Melbourne United games when his dad, NBL great Warrick, was working with the club. The Newport Beach Police Department in California announced on January 18 that it would not pursue charges after the department was “unable to corroborate any criminal activity related to Mr Giddey”.Giddey has yet to speak publicly about the incident and faced torrid abuse while playing with Oklahoma City Thunder, who emerged as a title contender.as teams backed off him to cover his other star teammates.
The Boomers had their first training session on Friday ahead of farewell games against China next Tuesday and Thursday at John Cain Arena.Goorjian still has to narrow down his final roster for Paris and faces some painful cuts with veterans like Matthew Dellavedova pressing for a recall after being left out of the world cup.
