The Portland Trail Blazers will see their center Duop Reath in Paris later this month at the Olympics, representing Australia for the second consecutive Summer Games.
Reath, 28, spent his first year in the league this past season with the Blazers, and now he’s capitalizing on his NBA welcoming with a hopeful medal at the Olympics this summer.
The 12-team tournament has now been finalized after the final wave of qualifiers took place on Sunday.
Australia’s action starts at 11 a.m. local time on Saturday, July 27 against Spain. With Paris nine hours ahead of Portland, that means Blazers fans will have to stay up or get up at 2 a.
