Lessort Responds to Return Speculation: 'Stop Lying, Nobody Knows, Not Even Me!'

French basketball player Mathias Lessort has responded to reports regarding his potential return to competitive play via a post on X (formerly Twitter). Lessort vehemently denies any specific return date, emphasizing that no one – not even doctors, journalists, coaches, or himself – can accurately predict when he will be ready to play. He wishes to complete his rehabilitation in peace and return to basketball when he is truly ready. He is expected to begin an individual training program next week, with a possible return to action in February, if his body responds positively to higher-intensity workouts.
