It was a very successful week on the international stage for the Milwaukee Bucks, as both Ersan Ilyasova and Travis Trice helped their national teams to crucial FIBA World Cup qualifying wins.
With the qualification process reaching its second stage, success over the past week was crucial for both Turkey and the USA’s hopes of qualifying for the World Cup in China next summer, and Ilyasova and Trice certainly played their part in ensuring that came to pass.
Having played a variety of warm-up games and gone through mini-camps ahead of the qualifying games, Ilyasova and Trice both played on Friday and Monday in the all-important contests.
