Kirilenko Confirms EuroBasket Absence
Andrei Kirilenko has delivered another blow to defending champions Russia by
confirming he will not play for the national team at the EuroBasket in Poland.
The absence of
the EuroBasket 2007 MVP, who cited personal reasons for not
taking part in the competition, means that David Blatt's team will be missing
two of its best players in recent years.
CSKA Moscow's naturalized Russian point guard JR Holden, who hit the game-
winning shot in the title game two years ago, decided earlier this year to
take a break from national team duty.
Blatt spoke about Kirilenko's decision in the Russian media.
"He sat down with me and explained his situation in terms of why he wanted
to take a summer off," Blatt said.
"We had a good talk and I certainly understand his decision. We're behind
him and support him a 100%.
"Andrei will be back with the Russian basketball team when it's appropriate
for him."
The loss of Kirilenko is a hammer blow to the Russians' title defense and
also damages their chances of reaching the 2010 FIBA World Championship in
Turkey.
They will compete in Group B with Latvia, Germany and the team that wins
the Additional Qualifying Round. A top six finish is requires to reach next
year's big event in Turkey. A top seven place will be good enough if Turkey
finish in the top 10 this summer.
