FIBA World Cup USA Basketball Roster Brings Fresh Faces


LAS VEGAS — Steve Kerr’s first tenure as coach of USA Basketball will feature a team that has limited international experience but is packed with star talent.

USA Basketball revealed on Thursday its 12-man roster for the upcoming FIBA World Cup in Asia. The team will be led by four all-stars — Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Brandon Ingram, and Jaren Jackson Jr. Other members of the roster include Paolo Banchero, Mikal Bridges, Jalen Brunson, Josh Hart, Cam Johnson, Walker Kessler, Bobby Portis, and Austin Reaves.

This revamped roster does not include any players from previous Olympics or World Cup teams. It signifies a fresh start for USA Basketball after the retirements of longtime executive director Jerry Colangelo and former coach Gregg Popovich, who both won gold at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
