Omri Casspi will be one of a few players in their first season with the Warriors this upcoming year, but before he plays alongside his new teammates, he will first play for his country.
Casspi, the first Israeli player in NBA history, will be leading his country of Israel in FIBA EuroBasket 2017 over the coming weeks. The tournament will feature Europe’s best 24 teams, broken down into four groups of six who will play in a round robin format. The top four teams in each group then play each other in a single elimination knockout stage (except the semifinals, where the losers in that round play in a third place game).
