After a full slate of pool play at the Olympics in Tokyo, both Dallas Mavericks players participating for their respective countries have advanced. Luka Doncic (Slovenia) and Josh Green (Australia) will now enter a single-elimination round of basketball, with just eight teams remaining.
Green has played very sparingly for a solid Australian national team, who went undefeated against Nigeria, Italy, and Germany. After starting the first game, Green logged just one minute of play in the remaining two games — though it’s worth mentioning that the team is well established with NBA talent around the perimeter.
