2023 United States FIBA Basketball World Cup team
Updated: 11/5/2025, 10:21:32 AM Wikipedia source
The United States men's national basketball team competed at the 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup and finished in fourth place. The team held training camp in early August and scheduled five exhibition games before their World Cup opener at the end of the month in Manila. The Americans were 4–1 during group play, qualifying for the final round. However, they lost in the semifinals and then in the bronze medal game, failing to medal for the second consecutive time. Being one of the top two World Cup finishers in the Americas zone, the team directly qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. The tournament was Grant Hill's first major international tournament as president of USA Basketball, having succeeded Jerry Colangelo. Steve Kerr was the new head coach, replacing Gregg Popovich.
