Australian men s basketball team officially announced: McDonald is seriously injured and reimbursed from the Asian Cup, and Clippers former player in the summer league will replace him

On August 2, the Australian Men's Basketball Team officially announced that McDonald suffered a serious injury to the ACL season and missed the Asian Cup. After he withdrew from the national team, Josh Bannan replaced him to join the national team. Josh Bannan once represented the Clippers in the NBA Summer League, and the Australian Men's Basketball Team scored three consecutive championships in the Asian Cup.

McDonald accidentally suffered a serious injury to the ACL season reimbursement in the previous warm-up match against the University of Colorado. McDonald will miss all the Asian Cup games in the next Men's Basketball Team and will miss the NBL game in the new season and will not be able to represent Tasmania's jumping ants in the new season.

After McDonald was seriously injured and withdrew from the Men's Basketball Team's Asian Cup, the Australian Men's Basketball Team officially announced that Josh Bannan would replace him to join the 12-man roster. Josh Bannan is also a player in Tasmanian jumping ants, a power forward who is 2.08 meters tall. Josh Bannan was the 2024 NBA draft pick and played in the summer league for the Clippers.

The latest 12-man roster of the Australian men's basketball team:

Xavier Cooks (Wizards), Will McGonny (Pelicans), Jack McVeigh (Rocks), Jack White (Nuggets, Grizzlies)

Dash Daniels, Irving Foxwell, Jerry Galloway, Ben Henschel, William Hickey, Josh Bannan, Renner Smith, Harry Withers

The Australian men's basketball team has the unique strength. Although there are no active NBA players, they are still aiming to compete for the men's basketball team's three consecutive Asian Cup championships.
