Milwaukee Bucks: The double edged sword of FIBA World Cup participation

When the FIBA World Cup gets underway at the end of the month, Milwaukee Bucks fans will likely be all too happy to have a chance to settle in and watch many of the team’s key players in action again.

The wait for the NBA season to begin can prove to be a long one for the most ardent fans, and with the start date pushing back into later in October this year, the World Cup will undoubtedly garner a lot of interest, even with so many high profile players opting not to participate.

From a Bucks’ perspective, the World Cup also promises to be unlike any international competition in the franchise’s history.
