The Americans will have only one player from the All-NBA team on their roster in China. But that could make for an interesting tournament
Anthony Davis,
LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Zion Williamson… those are just some of the
American superstars you won’t be seeing when the Fiba Basketball
World Cup starts off in
China on 31 August. Thanks to the many
NBA stars who have bowed out of this year’s tournament, Team
USA won’t quite look like look the ultra-confident world-beaters of the past, even if they are still clear favorites to lift the trophy.
Right now, the US is whittling down the 20-man training camp roster which includes exactly one player who was on last season’s All-NBA team, Boston Celtics point guard Kemba Walker. He joins the Milwaukee Bucks’ Khris Middleton and the
Toronto Raptors’ Kyle Lowry as one of only three 2019 All-Stars on the roster.
