CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Three Cavaliers will play for their home countries in 2019 FIBA World Cup qualifiers this month, a team source told cleveland.com.

Center Tristan Thompson (Canada), forward Cedi Osman (Turkey), and center Ante Zizic (Croatia) are all expected to participate in the second round of the global tournament.

In Thompson's case, the Canadians are playing the Americas qualifier Sept. 13-17, while Osman's Turkish team and Zizic's Croatian team will compete in the European tournament over the same dates.

The 2019 World Cup is in China.

There are no Cavaliers on the American team, which consists of some G League players and, compared to the United States' star studded Olympic teams, unknown NBA players. Kevin Love, a gold medalist for the U.S. in 2012, attended Team USA's minicamp this summer and is eligible to play in the China World Cup.

A Cavs source said guard Jordan Clarkson was not expected to play for the Philippines in the Asian qualifier. Last month, Clarkson played for the Philippines in the Asian games, scoring 29 points with six assists and four rebounds in his last game.

Multiple sources said Cavs players were not expected to hold players-only workouts ahead of training camp, which starts with Media Day on Sept. 24. LeBron James, who you may have heard plays for the Lakers now, used to gather the troops together in September (usually on California's southern coast) for a few days of drills, pick-up games, and bonding ahead of the start of practice.

Osman and Zizic, both entering their second NBA seasons with the Cavs, were great in limited action in Summer League play in July. Osman averaged 20 points and eight rebounds in two games, and Zizic contributed 20.5 points and 12.5 boards in his two contests.
