Will Josh Green be available for Australia's game against Finland?
According to Tom Hersz, Basketball Australia confirmed that Green suffered a 'minor left ankle sprain' and will be available for the Australian Boomers' opening World Cup group phase game against Finland.
After seeing limited court time in the Boomers' Olympic bronze medal run in Tokyo, Green is poised to play a huge role for the Boomers at the World Cup as they look to add to their medal collection.
"We're trying to win, man," Green told The Sporting News.
"We were able to get a bronze medal at the Olympics and it was cool and it was great. But I think everybody's goal this year is to go for gold. Just go in there with a competitive nature and be ready to go."
