Osman and Zizic to Play in World Cup Qualifiers

The second round of the FIBA World Cup Qualifiers is underway as 60 different countries vie for a coveted spot in next year's international tournament in China. Cavs fans can expect to see some familiar faces join the fray overseas as Ante Zizic (Croatia) and Cedi Osman (Turkey) suit up for their respective nations.

This round of qualifiers will see the best teams from Round 1 converge into new six-team groups and will consist of three playing windows that take place this September/November and February 2019. The top three teams from each division will qualify for the 2019 FIBA World Cup next summer.
