Fans who are in withdrawal or craving basketball action will be thrilled to have FIBA World Cup action to watch starting this Sunday. One OKC Thunder player who’ll be involved in the tournament is duo forward Danilo Gallinari.
With his recent trade to the Thunder Gallinari will join his Italian National team as they vie to win the World Cup and secure a spot in the upcoming 2020 Olympics next summer in Tokyo, Japan. Gallo has been one of the few NBA players who frequently play on his international team each and every offseason.
Many players for the United States team elected to not participate choosing to focus on the upcoming season instead.
