The Canadians didn’t travel halfway across the globe just to compete — they came to win some hardware. With Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leading the way, they’ve already advanced to the second round of the 2023 FIBA World Cup over in Asia.
On Sunday morning, SGA powered Canada to a dominating 128-73 win over Lebanon in what was their second game of group-stage action. With the overwhelming victory, Canada moves to 2-0 in the event and has already locked up a spot in the next round with one more group game left to go.
