Jimmer Fredette reveals the injury he suffered during the Paris Olympics

Jimmer Fredette’s Olympic journey has come to an end.

The former BYU guard revealed on Sunday that he tore two adductor ligaments that will require a six-month recovery. The announcement comes after Fredette and the United States Men’s Basketball 3v3 team failed to advance beyond pool play in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

“I had an injury that took place in the beginning minutes of our second game against Poland,” Fredette said in a post on Instagram. “I tore two different ligaments completely in my adductor, which prevented me from being able to compete. This will lead me to have a recovery of around six months.

“This is devastating for me as I have put two years into qualifying for the Olympics with this group who are my brothers.”

After losing their opening contests against Poland and Serbia, the United States went on to win two out of its last three games, but wasn’t able to advance to the next round.
