MIES (Switzerland) - FIBA has issued a statement regarding the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019 game between France and Lithuania.

After a video review of the game between France and Lithuania played on Saturday, September 7, FIBA has determined that during the last free-throw attempt by Lithuanian player #17 with 30.8 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter, French player #27 touched the rim while the ball was in contact with it.

The correct decision should have been to call a basket interference and one point awarded for Lithuania.

The officials of this game will not officiate any more games of the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2019.
