Saturday / November 23.

The United States and Canada both rolled to victory in their FIBA U19 World Cup openers on Saturday in Cairo, Egypt.

The U.S. crushed Iran, 108-48, with five players in double-figures.

Kentucky’s Hamidou Diallo (17), Purdue’s Carsen Edwards (15), UNLV’s Brandon McCoy (14, 10 rebounds), uncommitted senior Cam Reddish (14), and Kentucky’s P.J. Washington (13) scored in double figures. Hudson Catholic and Team Final senior Louis King added nine points and seven boards.

Diallo, who did not play at all at Kentucky during his one semester and then tested the NBA waters before returning to campus, is getting some much needed game action heading into a full year at Kentucky.

(AP) Paul George has a new home, and Russell Westbrook has a new star teammate.

The Indiana Pacers have agreed to trade George to the Oklahoma City Thunder for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis, said two people with knowledge of the details. The stunning deal gives Westbrook, the newly crowned NBA MVP, some serious help next season.

Teams came together on the trade Friday just hours before the free agent market was set to open, said the people who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the trade was not official.
