The FIBA World Cup European qualifiers are underway, and a pair of Arizona point guards—one current, one former—are trying to lead their respective countries to next year’s World Cup.
Kerr Kriisa and Estonia opened the second round of qualifiers with a 104-83 loss to Luka Doncic-led Slovenia Thursday. Kriisa scored 14 points on 4-of-11 shooting in 25 minutes along with five assists and four turnovers. Not unexpectedly, all of Kriisa’s shot attempts were 3-pointers.
During the game, Kriisa got a little chippy with Doncic, the three-time NBA All-Star for the Dallas Mavericks.
