Here's a more recent post, from about an hour ago as I write this. Khaman is at shootaround for the friendly game and you can also see Luol Deng.
One additional point here: it's true that Khaman isn't currently listed on the South Sudan roster, but I'll also note that it was announced a week ago that Wenyen Gabriel will be playing for South Sudan in the Olympics and he doesn't appear on the roster either. So, I don't even trust the official South Sudan basketball website at this point either.Here's a more recent post, from about an hour ago as I write this.

Ball Durham has some good content but they tend to chase clicks with extremist views and unsubstantiated hot takes. Everything is either the greatest thing that has ever happened or the worst tragedy in history. Their headlines are often misleading without being outright false. I consider them to be an entertainment site. I do enjoy the interviews that their writers will do on various podcasts.I continue to find Ball Durham to be a trash blog. Their writing is weak and they often exaggerate or outright misreport information.
As will I, although I did find it surprisingly hard to get information any other way about Olympic rosters. Does anyone know when the official deadline is/was for the rosters to be final? And is there a clearinghouse for that final version?Thanks for the updates. Will put Ball Durham on the trash list.
that splains it. Yeah, info on those guys is astonishingly difficult to get, perhaps some clarity at 3pm EDT on Fox (saturday)Just announced - the head of South Sudan Olympic Media has been hired by the Duke Injury Announcement team
That might tell us something, but then again, there were three players who got minutes in the USA game yesterday who most definitely are not on the USA Olympic Team, including one I had never even heard of (Micah Potter).that splains it.

What is his jersey number?The friendly game is being streamed on YouTube live. Maluach came off the bench and was productive for a few minutes in the 1st quarter.
I think he's wearing #6? It's a little hard to tell. Black on red is a tough one.What is his jersey number?
Thanks. South Sudan leads by 2 at the half.I think he's wearing #6? It's a little hard to tell. Black on red is a tough one.
Turned it on for 10 seconds and immediately saw #6 swat one above the square. Definitely got away with goaltending, but still impressive.Thanks. South Sudan leads by 2 at the half.
Wasn't goaltending by FIBA rules!Turned it on for 10 seconds and immediately saw #6 swat one above the square. Definitely got away with goaltending, but still impressive.
I don't know the FIBA rules that well, but I thought you couldn't touch the ball on a downward path until it hits the rim, at which point you can knock it off. This one was definitely on the way down but was still well above the rim.Wasn't goaltending by FIBA rules!
Given the high level of competition, that's not bad IMHO.
