Team Africa is headlined by Serge Ibaka, Victor Oladipo and Dennis Schroder. Joel Embiid will be present but will not play as he recovers from a meniscus tear.
Team World is loaded with familiar faces, including DeMarcus Cousins, C.J. McCollum, Kyle Lowry, Andre Drummond, as well as both Kristaps Porzingis and Dirk Nowitzki, who spent time working out together this summer.
Team World beat Team Africa, 101-97, in the inaugural game. Now, Team Africa will attempt to exact revenge and get a victory against a tough opponent.
