Bacon, Team USA Readying for Next Round of FIBA World Cup Americas Qualifiers

A productive offseason for Dwayne Bacon will be getting a bit more eventful in the coming days as he prepares to represent Team USA and the Charlotte Hornets at a pair of FIBA World Cup qualifying games.

Bacon, who was officially selected on Sept. 10, will be part of a United States squad that takes on Uruguay on Friday, Sept 14 in Las Vegas followed by an away showdown with Panama on Monday, Sept. 17. These two contests officially begin USA’s second round of qualifying for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, which will take place in China next summer.
