Sabonis Headed to Asia with Lithuanian National Team

While Pacers center Myles Turner has been competing to secure a spot on the USA Basketball Men's National Team for the upcoming FIBA World Cup, his frontcourt running mate has also been training with his respective national team ahead of next month's world championships.

Domantas Sabonis represented Lithuania at the 2016 Olympics and is set to play for his home country again at the World Cup, which begins Aug. 31 in China.

Sabonis has had some strong performances recently as Lithuania began its World Cup prep with a series of exhibitions. Sabonis had a team-high 11 points in an 80-60 win over Finland and racked up 25 points and 13 rebounds in an 88-72 victory over Russia.
