USA faces New Zealand in the FIBA Basketball World Cup on Saturday, August 26, 2023 (8/26/23) at Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
MANILA, Philippines — On Day 1 of the Basketball World Cup, the Philippines made history.
But the Dominican Republic spoiled the party for the home fans: Karl-Anthony Towns scored 26 points, leading his team to a 87-81 win in a Group A matchup. Jordan Clarkson scored 28 for the Philippines before fouling out in the final moments. “We all knew the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2023 was going to be special and within the first day we already have evidence of this, having witnessed this historic moment,” tournament chairman Richard Carrion said.
Philippine Arena was originally slated to host the final phase of the World Cup, including the medal games. But FIBA changed that plan earlier this year, citing traffic and transport concerns. The arena, which can hold as many as 55,000 fans for some events, is at least an hour by car — maybe much more depending on traffic — from most of the other Manila venues being used during the tournament.

When Steve Kerr's club has flocked east for a long road trip, it's not foreign for Golden State to deboard its private charter and head directly to an evening shootaround, as opposed to the NBA standard of getting shots up the following morning before that same night's away game.
