How to Watch OKC Thunder players in FIBA World Cup Round 2

The OKC Thunder are well-represented at the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and each member of the franchise has powered their home country to the second round of the World Cup. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Josh Giddey lead the way for their respective home countries, with Lu Dort, Jack White, and Davis Bertans playing various roles to help get their teams over the humps.

Team Canada was by far the most impressive of the first-round World Cup field, a clean sweep in pool play with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander dominating each tilt. Team Australia bounced back from a heartbreaking loss against Team Germany in game two to earn a victory in a must-win game three against the host country, Japan. Davis Bertans’ Latvia team also cracked the second round with his floor spacing ability.
