Canada Makes Historic Advance to 2023 World Cup Semi-Finals; Set to Face Serbia

From Manila, Philippines – United States vs. Germany and Serbia vs. Canada: these will be the two semi-finals of the 2023 World Cup at the Mall of Asia in Manila. The last team to earn an invitation is Canada, which reaches this stage of the competition for the first time in its history following a closely fought and balanced match against Slovenia, decided by late-game surges in the fourth quarter and ongoing irritability from the Slovenians, particularly Luka Dončić (ejected alongside Dillon Brooks due to an accumulation of technical fouls).

For Canada, a standout performance from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (31 points and 10 rebounds on 8/12 shooting), with good contributions also from Barrett (24 points and 9 rebounds) and the duo of Brooks & Alexander-Walker (14 points each). For Slovenia, Dončić finishes with 26 points on 8/20 shooting, and Prepelič adds 22 points.
