Report: Six NBA Players Commit To Selection For Team USA At 2023 FIBA World Cup

 

While the NBA Finals are currently in full swing, we are less than three months away from the 2023 FIBA World Cup, and with so many international teams expected to have fantastic rosters as the game grows beyond the United States, Team USA is finally getting some names together.

On Sunday, six NBA players: Anthony Edwards, Jalen Brunson, Mikal Bridges, Austin Reaves, Bobby Portis and Tyrese Haliburton all put their names forth to be selected for Team USA, and while we've yet to see top tier superstars do the same, this is a solid start to a roster.

With Australia (Giddey, Mills, Daniels, Ingles), Canada (Barrett, Gilgeous-Alexander, Murray) and plenty of European teams building deep, tough lineups, the United States will need to be at their best if they are to taste gold once more, so keep an eye on the roster as it grows and improves in the coming weeks.
