In an interview with Fiba.com, French Basketball President Jean-Pierre Siutat confirmed he is actively looking to find insurance that will cover Tony Parker and the other NBA players on the French national team. With the lockout underway, NBA players won't have coverage through their teams if they play internationally, and Parker has already said he won't play without it.

"We are currently trying to raise the necessary funds to cover the additional costs and are thus trying to find somebody who can help us in France -- the government or some alternative sponsor," said Siutat.
