Bad news for American basketball fans is the team representing you did not earn a medal at the World Cup in China. The best it can do now is finish fifth.
Good news for Jazz fans is a major reason the team representing you did not earn a medal at the World Cup in China is because of Rudy Gobert, who scored 21 points and had 16 rebounds in France’s win over Team USA.
More good news for Jazz fans is Donovan Mitchell was the single highlight for Team USA in that defeat, having carried whatever hopes his team had for hanging with France, scoring 29 points, hauling six rebounds and collecting four assists.
