NextImg:United States ousted by Germany in World Cup shocker

The United States, the heavyweights of international basketball, has been knocked out of the FIBA World Cup.

Call this the Illa in Manila.

Team USA was stunned by Germany, 113-111, in the semifinals of the World Cup on Friday in The Philippines.

The Americans trailed 106-94 with 5:24 to play before mounting a comeback that came up just short. Anthony Edwards and Austin Reaves led a 13-2 run to pull within one point.

But then Germany’s Andreas Obst nailed a corner 3 and Dennis Schroder hit a jumper to hand the U.S. its latest international disappointment.

Edwards paced the Americans with 23 while Reaves chipped in 21. Knicks star Jalen Brunson provided 15 points and seven assists, but was on the bench during crunch time.

Obst led Germany with 24 points. The Magic’s Franz Wagner added 22 and the Pacers’ Daniel Theis had 21.

The U.S. will face Canada on Sunday for the bronze medal.

The Americans last won the tournament in 2014. In 2019, they were knocked out by France in the quarterfinals.
