The @AAMI Breakdown with Trevor Gleeson – Boomers vs. Finland.
Every World Cup Live pregame show on ESPN, the 5x NBL Championship coach will break down the film. Night one was an overwhelming success, as Lauri Markkanen finished with 19 pts on 17 shots. Great insight from Trev. pic.twitter.com/w5O1JpNXLL – 9:51 PM

Based on the first few hours of the FIBA World Cup, Lauri Markkanen and Jordan Clarkson are going to be *SO* happy to be playing together again in a month or so. – 8:20 AM

More on this storyline
The long-awaited 2023 FIBA World Cup began, and what was supposed to be one of the most exciting games at the start, Australia made it a pretty one-sided affair, crushing Finland 98-72 on the opening day of the competition in Okinawa. Patrick Mills was the top scorer for the winning side with 25 points, while Josh Giddey flirted with a triple-double, scoring 14 points, grabbing nine rebounds, and dishing out eight assists. Joe Ingles added 13 and Dante Exum 10 points. For the losing side, as expected, Lauri Markkanen led the way with 19 points, while Sasu Salin added 13. -via EuroHoops.net / August 25, 2023

Basket.fi: Lauri Markkanen of #Susijengi will be sidelined vs. 🇱🇻. “My body has taken some hits in recent games. I’d love to play tonight, but after morning practice we had internal talks and decided that it’s best to give the body a few days to recover before we leave for World Cup.” -via Twitter / August 16, 2023
