Egypt, which has lost both of their games in group play, will try to get a measure of respect on Tuesday night, Manila time — Tuesday morning, New York Time.
For Nets fans, the reason to get up, get out of bed and find the game is Patrick Gardner. After a two-point game in Egypt’s opening loss to Lithuania, Gardner went for 13 points and eight boards while playing 35 out of 40 minutes in Game 2 vs. Montenegro ... and Bulls center Nikola Vucevic. He fired up six threes, making two.
Tuesday, Gardner and the Pharaohs will face Mexico who are also 0-2.
