Arizona guard Kylan Boswell left with a minor leg injury in the second half but USA still drubbed Lebanon 122-70 to finish 3-0 in pool play of the FIBA U19 World Cup at Debrecen, Hungary.
Fellow Wildcat guard Flip Borovicanin, meanwhile, had six points in Serbia’s 76-65 win over Japan to help his country also finish pool play undefeated.
Boswell’s loss did not prove costly for the Americans in a game when USA coach Tad Boyle of Colorado gave all 12 players double-digit minutes. Boswell collected eight points and three assists before leaving the game when he appeared to hurt himself defending a corner 3-pointer late in the third quarter.
