San Antonio Spurs forward Boris Diaw has been cleared to play for France in the 2014 FIBA World Cup, according to a report from Project Spurs. 

Diaw had to sit out France's previous exhibition games because of insurance issues surrounding the forward, who re-signed with the Spurs this offseason on a three-year, $22.5 million contract.

Team France technical director Patrick Beesleysaid the situation has been resolved.
