Team USA which includes the Lakers star Austin Reaves is about to have its debut in the FIBA World Cup, and while the roster is stacked with young NBA talent and is between the favorite teams to win the tournament, they have a big rival: Team Canada.
Both teams won't be seeing each other in the group stage, but later on in the tournament they can face off and Austin Reaves could see his rival of the last playoffs Dillon Brooks, as the former Grizzlies star trash-talked LeBron and the team.
Reaves recently said in the Full Send Podcast that all Memphis players sh!t talk and that he was glad they were able to defeat the team. Now Brooks will be looking to have a rematch against Austin.
New head coach Jordi Hernandez's club from the Great White North is fielding a roster with seven available NBA players: 2023 All-Star Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, New York Knicks swingman RJ Barrett, Houston Rockets small forward Dillon Brooks, Thunder guard Luguentz Dort, Minnesota Timberwolves wing Nickeil Alexander-Walker, Utah Jazz center/power forward Kelly Olynyk, and Dallas Mavericks big man Dwight Powell.
While Team Spain and Team USA are the two favorite national squads of the competitions, Canada is stacked and could be the one ruining the cup for any team. In the personal aspect, Reaves wants to win with Team USA.
