The response stems from Banchero’s preliminary dedication to play for Italy. He has an Italian passport and acquired Italian citizenship in 2020 resulting from his father’s ancestry.

“Betrayal, especially in basketball, is a strong word,” Italian basketball federation president Gianni Petrucci stated by way of La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Situations like this happen, and personally, I’m used to it. But he fooled us, we were planning a great commercial strategy for him. Now we need to turn this disappointment into positive energy, I’m sure our coach will be able to do it.”

Banchero’s authentic plan

The Orlando Magic’s younger star first supposed to play for the European basketball crew in 2022. He even categorically stated that he has plans to put on the Italian colours.

“I’m planning to play for the Italian national team, I’m not sure when,” Banchero stated in October final yr.

“I haven’t been out there yet, but man, the amount of love I’m getting from there it’s crazy, man. It’s crazy. I can’t wait to go to Italy”.

The NBA participant didn’t say something about why he selected the USA, and the Italian crew, by way of its president, stated they’re now prepared to maneuver on.

Banchero and the remainder of Team USA stay title favorites within the greatest stage of basketball, which is able to happen from August 25 to September 10, to be hosted by Japan, Philippines, and Indonesia.
