The NBA participated in the third ever NBA Africa game over this last weekend and sent many of the NBA’s star players to Pretoria, South Africa for the exhibition game. DeMar DeRozan and Joel Embiid were billed as the headliners, but only one of those two ended up playing, while others (like Dallas Mavericks forward, Harrison Barnes) helped lead Team World.
The game was played on August 4th, early in the day here in the US. Although both teams were full of NBA talent, Team World came away with the victory yet again, keeping Team Africa winless in the competition still.
