Wenyen Gabriel, South Sudan lose heartbreaker to Puerto Rico in World Cup

Day two of group stage action at the 2023 FIBA World Cup wrapped up on Saturday morning. Following an opening day stretch that saw former Kentucky players Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Canada) and Karl-Anthony Towns (Dominican Republic) shine in wins for their respective teams, another one-time Wildcat took the floor on Saturday — unfortunately with a different end result.

Suiting up for South Sudan, which is making its FIBA World Cup debut, Wenyen Gabriel is one of the country’s top players in the event.
