Team World, featuring Trail Blazers guard CJ McCollum, defeated Team Africa,
comprised of first and second generation NBA players from Africa, 108-97 in the
NBA Africa Game held Saturday in Johannesburg, South Africa. Saturday’s game in
Johannesburg was the second game put on by the NBA in Africa, with Team World
also winning the previous contest in 2015. McCollum came off the bench for Team
World and finished with eight points on 3-of-15 shooting from the field and
1-of-6 shooting from three, four rebounds and an assist in 25 minutes. The 6-4
guard out of Lehigh might not have shot the ball as well as he would have liked,
though his defense late in the game helped Team World pull away in the fourth
quarter.
Back in for Team WORLD on ESPN2… @CJMcCollum of the @trailblazers!
