FIBA World Cup Day 6: Edwards and USA Dominate, Anderson and China Fall to Puerto Rico

Another day, another standout performance from Minnesota Timberwolves franchise cornerstone Anthony Edwards as he competes in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

Edwards and Team USA wrapped up the first round with a 110-62 victory against Jordan on Wednesday morning, with the Wolves’ phenom leading the star-studded roster in scoring with 22 points. The Americans advance to the second round having gone undefeated in their three first-round games.

Kyle Anderson — also known as Li Kai’er — led China with 31 minutes played, an honorable performance considering China had already been eliminated from title contention after their loss to South Sudan on Monday.
