New York and Team USA will be represented by Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart at the FIBA World Cup, but they aren’t the only prominent Knicks players who will be there. Canada released its roster on Thursday, and guess who’s on it? RJ Barrett.
The United States is in Group C and will play New Zealand, Greece, and Jordan in the Group Phase. Barrett and Canada are in Group H and will compete against France, Lebanon, and Latvia in the Group Phase. Yes, Barrett will go up against Evan Fournier, who may or may not still be a Knick then, and former lottery pick Frank Ntilikina.
