I think many Euro players see it as a honor and duty to play for their country.
The "Dream Team" sure saw it that way. I don't think any of us would say **** USA.

Whatever they were looking at, it appears they took the ultra-conservative/***** route.

If I had a job with a multi-million dollar contract, and my doctor recommended a course of action to allow me to fully honor that contract and to stay healthy for future contracts, I would follow the advice of my doc. Glad it is just a simple procedure.
I was hoping that he was going to get a cool surgery like Enes enlargement.

Maybe there is something in the water in Turkey....Illysova doesn't want to play FIBA either.

A deeply-disappointed Ersan Ilyasova has decided not to play for Turkish national team this summer so he can rest ankles.

I think it's just a simple matter of well paid NBA players putting their health and future contracts over national pride. Have to think this would be a different situation if it were the Olympics.

Ersan played in all tournament even though he's been playing in the NBA for several years but this year he already declared his ankles needed full resting. Kanter just thinks he's smart to fix the schedule not to be able to join to the NT after an operation which will keep him out of organization for 2 weeks. He already tweeted that he was wishing it too much to play for NT and try it after operation which is so much politic.
You think his doctors have decided the operation after 2 months later of the season? If it's, just big coincidence happening it getting so closer for the NT.
just another excuse for kanter to miss national games

And that's exactly why FIBA screwed up by giving wild card spot to Turkey. None of their stars actually are good in NBA and none wants to even play for their country either. They will be cannon fodder in WC. Wild card should have gone to Canada, at least we would have starting five made up from young exciting NBA players. Wiggins, Thompson, Stauskas, Nicholson, C.Joseph, Bennet...heck maybe even Nash and Dalembert would come to play . Canada would crush Turkey without Kanter and Illyasova TBH.

Didn't Kanter have issues with the Turkish coach? I remember watching some games and I thought the coach was horrible. All they did on offense was have the guards dominate the ball and take a lot of ill-advised 3's.

I wonder if he is using this "surgery" as an excuse for not joining the Turkish team.

It's not a club team, he can not make some excuses not to join to the NT due to game plans. He's just screwing his all sympathy because of his foolish manager and excuses. I really wonder he really thinks all fans are stupid not to be able to understand what's happening?
Dirk, manu, Gasol brothers all respectable players not just because of their talents but their characters which Kanter does not have.

Maybe he wants to avoid a trade. Surgery just before the draft
Actually this was the exact reaction of a Utah Jazz journalist about which he tweeted that this news immediately tackles Kanter's trade value down.
