Despite speculation about Nigeria even withdrawing from the upcoming FIBA World Cup, the Nigerian national team is ready to travel to China. The country, which is celebrating the back-to-back Afrobasket titles of the women’s national team, will be represented by a roster, which is considered probably the strongest ever from an African country and includes names like Ekpe Udoh and Chimezie Metu of the San Antonio Spurs. Those were two of the players that expressed their concern for the financial troubles on social media.
Tom Orsborn: #Spurs have recalled Lonnie Walker & Chimezie Metu from the G League. In a 121-117 win over the Texas Legends last night, Walker led Austin with 23 points. Drew Eubanks added 22 points on 9 of 13 to go with 12 rebounds and six blocks.
