Anunoby's absence leaves Team Nigeria without a key asset
The Toronto Raptors forward will not be heading to Tokyo for the 2021 Olympic games.
Born in London, England to Nigerian parents, Anunoby was expected to be a key player for Team Nigeria in Tokyo. However, the 23-year-old has decided to withdraw from the Olympics due to personal reasons.
Anunoby's absence is a major blow to Team Nigeria, who are hoping to make a deep run in the Olympics. The 6'7" forward is a versatile defender who can also score the ball, and he would have been a valuable asset to the team.
Despite Anunoby's absence, Team Nigeria still has a number of talented players, including Precious Achiuwa, Gabe Vincent, and Josh Okogie. The team will be hoping to make a statement in Tokyo and show the world that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Anunoby's decision to withdraw from the Olympics is a personal one, and it should be respected. However, his absence will be a major blow to Team Nigeria, who were hoping to make a deep run in the Olympics. The team will still have a number of talented players, but they will miss Anunoby's versatility and scoring ability.
