A pair of marquee semifinal duels that will determine the two best teams in the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup is set on Friday, Sept. 8, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Germany stakes its perfect run so far in the global showpiece against the mighty and fancied Team USA while first-time semifinalist Canada tangles against the perennial contender Serbia.
Dennis Schroder and the Germans then take the centerstage against the No.2 ranked Americans in the main event at 8:40 p.m. "Like I said before, we are not satisfied. We wanna win gold. We know we gotta take it one step at a time. We play Serbia. They're a really good basketball team. Just play really well. We're gonna try to prepare," said Gilgeous-Alexander
In the second game, all eyes are obviously on Team USA which is gunning for a return trip to the finals which it last achieved in 2010 and 2014 – both times it ended up winning. The Americans also made their bid for the title apparent when they dominated Italy, 100-63.
