“I hope Dillon [Brooks] does talk trash,” said Jaren Jackson Jr. of his former bear-poking Memphis Grizzlies teammate and Canada guard. “Otherwise it wouldn’t be him. It wouldn’t be real.” Like Team USA, Canada has lost twice in the World Cup. But it has a better résumé to this point, having beaten Olympic silver-medalist France, defending world champ Spain and Luka Doncic-led Slovenia before losing to Serbia in a foul-plagued performance. “I’m excited for our future,” said Team Canada coach and Sacramento Kings associate head coach Jordi Fernandez. “What we need to do now is bounce back and be excited about this next game, which me personally, I’m already extremely excited about.”
