? We interrupt our regularly scheduled sports programming with a temporary guest with the FIBA Basketball World Cup, which kicked off on Friday and runs until 10 September. The pharaohs missed out on their chance to qualify past the group stage, after losing 67-93 against Lithuania on Friday (watch highlights, runtime: 3:06) and 74-89 against Montenegro today (watch highlights, runtime: 3:07). Egypt is currently in the third spot in its group — which includes Lithuania, Montenegro, and Mexico — with two points from the two losses.

Group stage matches are ongoing in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan, whose time zones are four, five, and six hours ahead of us, respectively.
