The France-Finland match is available online, but it might be short lived. Over at SpursTalk, Bruno has kindly pointed our browsers in this direction.
This alert comes to you post tip-off. So if you want to watch, scurry on over. France 14, Finland 6. And yes, Tony Parker is playing. My understanding is that Ian Mahinmi will not begin playing until their next match. Nando De Colo is locked and loaded and will be wearing No. 12.

Parker hardly played, mostly because he wasn’t really needed. So, it’s good that he’s getting eased back in.
Anyway, France got the win they needed, and they can probably wrap up a spot in the qualification final with a win against Italy on Friday.

In a way Parker’s absence and the key win against Italy might be exactly what this team needed, a bit like the Spurs when Duncan can’t play.
Re: Mahinmi I wonder if it isn’t a way for the French NT to get on really good terms with the Spurs, since it’s clear the Spurs will benefit from that - it’s an extended summer league for Ian and might even turn into much more if France goes to the Euro championship.
As for the people who said it didn’t matter if Parker was there or not since the French NT wasn’t going anywhere anyway… I simply hope they will eat crow before long
