The Australian Boomers' 2024 Paris Olympics squad has been finalized, with Portland Trail Blazers' Matisse Thybulle left off the team. Despite this, his teammate Duop Reath has secured a spot to aid in the pursuit of a gold medal. Sources reveal that Thybulle was omitted from the team due to a crowded wing rotation, with selectors opting for other defensive talents. Coach Brian Goorjian acknowledged the difficulty of the decision, recognizing the talent and contribution Thybulle brought to the team during the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. Thybulle's impressive defensive stats with the Blazers were noted, showcasing his abilities on the court. Born in the US but having spent significant time in Australia, Thybulle's absence from the Boomers' squad has stirred debate among fans and experts alike. Despite the disappointment, the Boomers are determined to excel in Paris with the final roster in place.
