Paris, Jul 4: Chicago Bulls center Joakim Noah will not play for France at the London Olympics because of the left ankle injury he picked up during the NBA playoffs.






Noah told L'Equipe newspaper he was “absolutely not ready. Not ready to run, not ready to jump.”

The 12 players who will represent France in London are set to be announced on Thursday.
