Following a one-summer hiatus, Hornets center Willy Hernangómez is back with the Spanish National Team as “La Roja” looks to bring home another coveted medal at the 2019 FIBA World Cup, which runs from Saturday, Aug. 31 until Sunday, Sept. 15 throughout the country of China.
This year’s rendition of the tournament will feature 32 teams divided into eight groups of four for round robin play. The top two teams in each group will advance to the second round, where they will be slotted into four more groups of four. The two highest-ranking squads (eight total) in each of these newer foursomes will advance to the single-elimination quarterfinal round.
