BEIJING -- A record 54 NBA players took part in the FIBA World Cup over the past 16 days, a true commitment with training camps scheduled to open in two weeks.

The performance of the 12 who played for Team USA was well documented. Though Kemba Walker, Donovan Mitchell and a few others had some impressive moments, it wasn't a tournament to remember for those players.

But there were some strong efforts by some international players that would be of interest to NBA fans. In all, NBA players represented 17 countries while in China. Here's a look at the NBA players who had the most impactful World Cup:

Ricky Rubio, Spain

Now one of most experienced international players, Rubio played with a vision and aggression befitting his experience. Spain has a number of experienced players, but he drove it to the title, scoring 20 points in the championship game to cement World Cup MVP honors. He shot the 3-pointer better than in the past, 38 percent. If he carries it to training camp, it will be a true boost for the Phoenix Suns.

Marc Gasol, Spain

He took only one week off between the NBA Finals and reporting to the national team, making his strong play even more impressive. He played 39 minutes and scored 33 points in a double-overtime win in the semifinals against Australia, one of his best performances in a long career for Spain, in what turned out to be the vital one in winning the gold.

Bogdan Bogdanovic, Serbia

He shot 36 percent from 3-point range for the Sacramento Kings last season but he was relentless throughout the World Cup, nailing 53 percent of his 3s and making an average of four per game. Granted, the line is closer in international play, but everything about his shot looked smooth and his confidence was great. He averaged 22.9 points and was unquestionably one of the best guards in China as he was named to the all-tournament team.

Evan Fournier, France

Here is the kind of guy Fournier is: As soon as he got his bronze medal, he gave it away, saying he already had one from 2014 at home. Then he criticized American friends, like former Orlando Magic teammate Tobias Harris, for not coming to play. He played with the same fearless attitude throughout the tournament. He battered Team USA and even though he didn't shoot great down the stretch, finished at 41 percent from 3-point range and averaged 19.8 points in the event. Still unclear: whether he gave away the watch he got for making the all-tournament team.

Patty Mills, Australia

When suiting up for his national team, Mills plays with tremendous pace and a scoring mindset, like a FIBA combo of Steve Nash and Allen Iverson. He zipped all over the floor, keeping the dribble alive and looking to shoot at any moment. Mills probably could never play that way in the NBA, but he ended up as third-leading scorer in the Cup, averaging 22.8 points.

Rudy Gobert, France

The Utah Jazz center and reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year crushed Team USA with 21 points, 16 rebounds and 3 blocks in France's quarterfinal victory. He did what he does, finishing second in the Cup in blocks and fourth in rebounds. He was outplayed by 39-year-old Luis Scola in the semifinals, but overall he played like an All-NBA player.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, Greece

The 2019 NBA MVP's numbers were OK -- 14.8 points, 8.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 2.8 steals -- so that's why he made this list. That said, he didn't come close to having the impact that was assumed. The FIBA style of defense and some of the rules bothered him, and he didn't look comfortable. There was only one game where he truly took control (not that this performance defines him in any way).

Aron Baynes, Australia

Following in the path of Brook Lopez, Baynes started shooting 3-pointers for the Boston Celtics last season. He'd made four in his whole career, then made 21 in 2018-19. That conversion is progressing, and he showed this summer that his new team, the Phoenix Suns, could benefit. Baynes nailed 52 percent of his 3s in the Cup and bothered Gobert with five of them in a win over France in the second round.

Tomas Satoransky, Czech Republic

The Czech Republic became one of the surprise teams of the tournament, and Satoransky was a big reason why. He showed tremendous playmaking in China, finishing second by averaging 8.5 assists to go along with 15.5 points per game. His play made the Chicago Bulls' choice to sign him to a three-year, $30 million deal in the offseason look good.

Atlanta Braves utility man Charlie Culberson suffered multiple facial fractures after being hit on the right cheekbone by a 91 mph fastball on Saturday, the team announced Sunday.

Culberson has been cleared to travel from Washington to Atlanta, where he will meet Sunday with the team's doctors to determine the next steps in his treatment, the team said.

Culberson was pinch hitting for starting pitcher Mike Foltynewicz with two on and no out in the seventh of a 1-1 game Saturday when he was hit on the first pitch thrown by Washington Nationals reliever Fernando Rodney.

The Braves won Saturday's game 10-1 to clinch a playoff berth.

Mike Trout has been trying to get back in the lineup, but that plan will be put on hold because the Los Angeles Angels slugger will have surgery on his foot.

The team announced that Trout will have a thickening of tissue around the nerves -- a Morton's neuroma -- in the ball of his right foot removed later this week.

Trout missed his eighth straight game Sunday but has been testing the foot the past few days to see if he could get back on the field. The team said in a statement that he was still experiencing too much pain to play.

Trout, who leads the American League with 45 homers, had an injection of cold fluid in the area of his foot Monday in an attempt to get back on the field.

Karolina Pliskova swept past Petra Martic in straight sets to win the WTA Zhengzhou Open in China.

Pliskova only needed 77 minutes to beat the Croatian 6-3 6-2 in a rain-interrupted final for her fourth tournament success of 2019.

The Czech player, top seed at the event, only dropped one set all week on her way to the title.

Victory in Zhengzhou followed earlier titles in Brisbane, Rome and Eastbourne for the 26-year-old.

The world number two will close the gap on Australia's Ashleigh Barty in the rankings, however she has yet to secure a first Grand Slam title. Her best performance this year was reaching the semi-finals at the Australian Open in January before losing to eventual champion Naomi Osaka.

SELINSGROVE, Pa. – Logan Wagner led all the way to capture a $20,000 payday in Saturday night’s 37th annual Jim Nace Memorial National Open for 410 sprint cars at Selinsgrove Speedway.

Wagner was never headed and took the checkered flag .755 seconds in front of Freddie Rahmer, who chased him throughout the 40-lap feature at the half-mile dirt oval.

Midwestern invader Brian Brown completed the podium, followed by Kerry Madsen and T.J. Stutts.

Each of the top five finishers held those positions for all 40 laps on Saturday night.

Anthony Macri crossed sixth, ahead of Brian Montieth, Danny Dietrich, Lance Dewease and Steve Buckwalter.

The winner’s share was the largest prize for an unsanctioned sprint car race in Pennsylvania this season, with a guaranteed $600 to start and a total race purse of $50,000.

Garrett Bard won the companion PASS/IMCA 305 sprint car feature, beating Zach Newlin, Keith Prutzman, Devin Adams and Ian Cumens.

The finish:

Logan Wagner, Freddie Rahmer, Brian Brown, Kerry Madsen, T.J. Stutts, Anthony Macri, Brian Montieth, Danny Dietrich, Lance Dewease, Steve Buckwalter, Ryan Smith, Jared Esh, Cody Keller, Blane Heimbach, Lucas Wolfe, Jason Shultz, Landon Myers, A.J. Flick, Dylan Cisney, Kyle Reinhardt, Tyler Reeser, Ryan Linder, Trey Starks, Cory Haas.

Another top restricted free agent signed with his current team Sunday when defenseman Charlie McAvoy inked a three-year, $14.7 million deal.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney made the announcement that the 21-year-old would remain with the team, just days after training camp began. The Bruins have their first preseason game Monday night at New Jersey.

The Bruins didn't have much cap room, so the bridge deal for McAvoy makes sense for both sides. Boston still has to reach agreement with fellow restricted free-agent defenseman Brandon Carlo and has about $3 million left.

The Bruins thought so much of McAvoy when they signed him in April 2017 out of Boston University that they had the 19-year-old make his NHL debut in the playoffs. He held his own there and has developed into a potential No. 1 defenseman.

Paired mostly with captain Zdeno Chara, McAvoy had seven goals and 21 assists last season. He had seven goals and 25 assists in his rookie season. He did miss 28 games last season with various injuries, including a concussion. McAvoy's possession numbers are solid at 54.5 Corsi percentage in his two seasons.

In the Bruins' run to the Stanley Cup Final last season McAvoy had eight points in 23 games.

India v South Africa Match abandoned

India's home series opener was ruined by persistent rain as the first T20I against South Africa was abandoned without even the toss taking place in Dharamsala. The entire ground was covered, but rain refused to relent and created massive puddles of water on the covers, resulting in the game to be called off at 7.48pm local time.

Rain had also made an appearance on Saturday afternoon, forcing the pitch to be covered. It had the final say on Sunday as well.

With the first game of the tour washed out, batsman Temba Bavuma, 25-year-old teraway Anrich Nortje and left-arm spin-bowling allrounders Bjorn Fortuin and George Linde will have to wait until the second match at Mohali on Wednesday to make their T20I debuts. Quinton de Kock, too, will have to wait until Wednesday to make his T20I captaincy debut.

The third - and the final game of the T20I series - will be played in Bengaluru on September 22.

Spain has won its second World Cup championship, defeating Argentina 95-75 on Sunday to give Marc Gasol a rare double-title year.

Tournament MVP Ricky Rubio scored 20 points and Sergio Llull added 15 for Spain (8-0), the ninth team to make it through a World Cup or world championship unbeaten. Gasol scored 14 for the winners, who never trailed.

For Gasol, it was a historic win. The Toronto Raptors center becomes the second player to win an NBA title and a FIBA world gold medal in the same year, joining Lamar Odom, who did it for the Los Angeles Lakers and USA Basketball in 2010.

Gasol is also the 19th player to win either an NBA or WNBA crown along with a gold medal, either of the Olympic or World Cup variety, in the same year. And he's the first to accomplish that feat while representing a nation other than the U.S.

When Spain won its first title in 2006, it was Pau Gasol -- Marc's older brother -- leading the way. This time, it was the not-so-little brother who led his nation to gold, hoisting the World Cup trophy three months after getting his hands on the NBA's Larry O'Brien Trophy for the first time.

Gabriel Deck scored 24 points for Argentina (8-1), which got off to a slow start and played uphill the rest of the way. Luis Scola was held to eight points, shooting 1-for-10 from the floor.

Spain led 43-31 at the half, riding the strength of two big runs.

Spain ran out to a quick 14-2 lead, only to have Argentina answer with an 11-0 spurt. But when that ended, Spain came back with a 17-1 run and took what was then its biggest lead at 31-14.

Scola, who at 39 years old was still Argentina's best player throughout the tournament, didn't get on the scoresheet until he made a pair of free throws with 2:57 left in the third. But they only cut the Spain lead to 19, and by then the Argentinian fans -- who stood in the stands a few rows from their team's bench, singing and chanting for much of the game -- were relatively quiet.

They probably had a good idea what was coming.

There was one last gasp from Argentina, an 11-4 run to open the fourth quarter and cut Spain's lead to 12 with 6:30 left. But Llull's three-point play on the next Spain possession pushed the lead back to 15.

TIP-INS

Argentina: This was the third FIBA World Cup medal for Argentina, making it the fifth nation with that many after the United States (12), Yugoslavia (10), the Soviet Union (eight) and Brazil (six). Another four nations have two medals, including Spain. ... Argentina fell to 2-8 all time against Spain in World Cup or Olympic competition.

Spain: It was the fourth consecutive FIBA title game to be decided by double digits. ... It was also a double-title year for Spain coach Sergio Scariolo; he's an assistant on Nick Nurse's staff in Toronto. ... Everything went Spain's way early -- even air balls. Rudy Fernandez took a corner 3 that sailed long by about two feet, landing in the hands of Juancho Hernangomez. He laid in the miss to start a three-point play, part of Spain's 14-2 game-opening run.

ALL-TOURNAMENT TEAM

Joining Rubio on the all-tournament team were Gasol, Scola, France's Evan Fournier and Serbia's Bogdan Bogdanovic.

DIGNITARIES

Among the big names in attendance on the final day of the World Cup: Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming, NBA commissioner Adam Silver and deputy commissioner Mark Tatum, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach, FIBA ambassador and five-time NBA champion Kobe Bryant, and Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili -- both four-time NBA champions with San Antonio.

5 WITH 2

Spain is the fifth nation to win the World Cup (or its predecessor, the world championship) at least twice. The U.S. and Yugoslavia are five-time champions, the Soviet Union won three titles and Brazil has won two.
