Khris Middleton gets credit as the hero as he made two free throws with 2.1 seconds left to provide the winning points, the last of his team-high 15 points. It wasn’t possible until Turkey missed four consecutive free throws (two by Cedi Osman and two by Dogus Balbay) with nine seconds left that could won the game.
Jayson Tatum injures ankle
Tim Bontemps: Jayson Tatum hurt his left ankle in the final seconds of Team USA’s win, after making a really nice play to drop the ball off to Khris Middleton on a break for what wound up being a game-winning play. Hopefully it looked worse than it winds up being.

Marc Stein: Team USA has assigned @FIBAWC numbers now that the roster is down to 12: 4. Derrick White 5. Donovan Mitchell 6. Joe Harris 7. Marcus Smart 8. Harrison Barnes 9. Jaylen Brown 10. Jayson Tatum 11. Mason Plumlee 12. Myles Turner 13. Brook Lopez 14. Khris Middleton 15, Kemba Walker
But where does that leave Team USA this summer? Who is left to build around? Well, there’s Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kemba Walker, Khris Middleton and Donovan Mitchell. Those five are probably the most talented players left on the USA’s roster. On paper, that group represents a dynamic and talented core that can compete with virtually anyone. But that doesn’t guarantee success. First of all, there is a significant drop off in talent from previous years. During the most recent Olympics, Team USA had nine reigning All-Stars, but this current collection only has two – the lowest total since 1998, a lockout year for the NBA in which the professionals mostly opted out. And the competition in the 2019 FIBA World Cup isn’t just anyone.
