Tim Soares is one of two Kings named in the initial World Cup squad for Brazil.

A pair of former Sydney Kings look set to represent Brazil in the upcoming FIBA World Cup, with Tim Soares and Didi Louzada named in the South American nation’s extended World Cup squad.

The pair have been named in the extended 25-player squad that is headlined by Cleveland guard Raul Neto.

Louzada played two seasons with the Kings as a Next Star following his selection in the 2019 NBA Draft, and represented Brazil in the 2019 World Cup.
