Ghana Center made his debut at the FIBA Intercontinental Cup in the early hours on Saturday, February 16 at the Carioca 1 Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil but ended on the losing side with his Austin Spurs teammates.
Spurs lost 58-90 to host Flamengo in one of two semifinals at the world competition and miss out on competing for the gold medal in the process. The 2017-2018 NBA Gatorade League Champions played out a poor game.
Brimah produced eight points, seven rebounds, two assists and four blocks in 25 minutes of action on the court. The 6 foot 10 inch defender converted four of six field goal attempts but missed both free throw attempts. He didn't attempt a three point shot.
Former Oklahoma City Thunder Forward Josh Huestis led Spurs in scoring with ten points and was the only player on the team to score in double figures in the game. Spurs converted just four of 20 shots from three point range.
Flamengo was led by Argentine Franco Baldi who scored 19 points in the winning effort and NBA Champion Anderson Varejao featured for the host team.
Spurs play South American Champions San Lorenzo for the bronze medal after the latter lost 64-86 to Basketball League Champions AEK Athens. Two time NBA Champion and Canada International Joel Anthony plays for San Lorenzo.
