The last time the FIBA World Cup came around in 2019, the Chicago Bulls lone two representatives in Cristiano Felicio and Tomas Satoransky were nothing to get too excited over. However, things could be different this time, as two-time All-Star center Nikola Vucevic will be representing not only Chicago, but his home country of Montenegro at the 2023 FIBA World Cup.
It’s already been nearly four months since the Bulls were defeated by the Miami Heat in the play-in tournament, so this event looks to be a welcome distraction to an offseason that has dragged on far too long.
