Gorgui Dieng to play FIBA African Championship with Senegal
Nafy Amar Fall: Afrobasket 2021 Roster of Sénégal Point guards: Pierria Henry, Brancou Badio, Mamadou Faye Shooting guards: Cheikh Bamba Diallo, Mohamed Alga Ndiaye Small forwards: Maurice Ndour, Pape Moustapha Diop Power forwards: Gorgui Dieng, Ibrahima Faye Centers: Youssou Ndoye, Malick Dime, Boubacar Touré
Senegal announced their preliminary roster for the Olimpic Qualifying Tournament in Belgrade, Serbia. The roster is headlined by NBA players Gorgui Dieng, Georges Niang and Tacko Fall as well as Baskonia’s Pierria Henry and Youssoupha Fall. Maurice Ndour and Youssou Ndoye are also included.
Jackson didn’t text a lot of players after he was dismissed, but he texted Ndour, whom the Knicks cut hours before free agency Friday after their second summer-league practice. Had Ndour, 25, lasted until midnight, his $1.3M pact would have been guaranteed. “Basically they needed some space in the salary cap,’’ Ndour said after the Knicks explained the decision. “That’s what they say. It had nothing to do with basketball. Just business.’’
“All I can say is Phil is the main reason I was here with the Knicks,’’ Ndour said when asked if this would’ve happened had Jackson not been canned. “Whether I’d stay with the Knicks or not, I have no idea. Ndour said he was surprised at the firing. “But it’s the nature of the business. He texted me and wished me good luck. I got caught in the NBA budget zone.’’
Maurice Ndour: Thanks to the Knicks organization for the opportunity. It’s been a hell of a journey and I hope they find what they looking for #toohotfidem
