As the NBA offseason continues, the eyes of the basketball world are shifting to international competition as the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup approaches on August 31. This year’s tournament will be the first to feature 32 teams instead of the previous 24 and will have the two-time defending champion Team USA at the center of attention.
San Antonio Spurs fans will have a pair of international debuts to look forward to in the tournament as Gregg Popovich will be making his international head coaching debut and Derrick White is expected to make his playing debut, assuming he makes the final roster.
