The Dominican Republic has a strong group ahead of the #FIBAWC. Karl-Anthony Towns is their cornerstone, but his supporting cast is great as well. Angel Delgado is an amazing rim protector, LJ Figueroa brings score, and Jean Montero sets the pace. Don’t sleep on them. #VamosDOM – 5:12 PM

Canada will start the now-usual suspects — Gilgeous-Alexander, Barrett, Brooks, Powell, Olynyk — against Dominican Republic in a few minutes. And, yes, that is Karl-Anthony Towns in the DR lineup – 3:24 PM

More on this storyline
The former Denver Nuggets player now conceded an interview to Panathinaikos’ official YouTube channel in which he explained why he decided to come back to Europe to rock the Greek powerhouse jersey. “I feel great, at home. I can’t wait to play here to see the fans going crazy and just to compete with this team. The president wants to win no matter what and that desire to win made me come back from the NBA”, Juancho Hernangomez said. -via EuroHoops.net / August 4, 2023
Dionysis Aravantinos: Juancho Hernangomez arrived in Athens and Panathinaikos fans welcomed him at the airport. -via Twitter @AravantinosDA / August 1, 2023
Explaining, from a coaching point of view, the presence of Hernangomez on the floor, Hines said that “Juancho has an incredible touch. Great floater, great contact near the basket. It ends in many different ways the phases. But what is really amazing about his game is his footwork. Can be very threatening in pick n pop situations. I don’t know how his ability will translate to Europe, but now he will have more options because he had all the ingredients to play in the NBA.” -via sportal.gr / July 29, 2023
