Tacko Fall was recently added to the Senegal national team’s training camp roster in preparation for the 2019 FIBA World Cup. After working with the team for roughly one week, the coaches decided on Fall’s future with the team, as well as the other 23 players working out.

The towering big man was not featured on the roster.

Looks like the rest of the world will have to settle on Celtics NBA Summer League re-runs if they want to watch Fall play.

UPDATE:

According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, Fall made the team, but he was “always planning on returning to the US this week to spend the rest of the offseason working to make the Celtics roster.”
