Remember Donovan Mitchell’s commercial from earlier this summer, the one in which he promoted his shoes alongside the movie “Spider-Man: Far From Home”?
Mitchell, “Spida”-themed shoes and nickname in tow, traveled all the way to Melbourne, Australia, along with the rest of Team USA to play in two FIBA World Cup warmup games against the Australian national basketball team. One indication of the distance: the times these games will be played at. Game 1 is at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Australia’s Eastern time zone, which means a 3:30 a.m. tipoff in Mountain Daylight Time. Game 2 is Saturday at 2 p.
