Given the growing global presence in the NBA, it’s unsurprising that an impressive count of 55 current league players have secured spots on the rosters for the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023. This much-anticipated event is commencing today, featuring games spread across the Philippines, Japan, and Indonesia.
What’s truly noteworthy about this statistic, beyond its sheer magnitude, is the valid assertion that two of the event’s top 10 players are affiliated with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Specifically, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey are the marquee names representing Canada and Australia, respectively. Notably, both squads boast considerable talent and stand a genuine chance at clinching the championship. In totality, the Thunder will be amply represented in the competition, with a total of five players participating and representing three different nations.
