The team that will represent the United States at the 2023 World Cup, which will take place in the Philippines, Japan and Indonesia, continues to take shape. If we already knew that the team would have several players advanced by The AthleticNow we know that Brandon Ingram (New Orleans Pelicans) and Jaren Jackson Jr. (Memphis Grizzlies) have also joined the international event that will begin at the end of August.
Regarding the final list of 12 members, which would already have Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers), Anthony Edwards (Timberwolves), Bobby Portis (Bucks), Austin Reaves (Lakers) and Mikal Bridges (Nets), in addition to those previously announced, it is USA Basketball CEO Grant Hill and coach Steve Kerr who continue to shape it. In principle, it will be in the month of June when we have the definitive correlation of names.
With the 2024 Paris Olympic Games waiting just around the corner, there are several players who could use the World Cup event to gain weight in the US team in order to be in the French capital. However, it is likely that the team that goes to the Olympic tournament will have notable differences compared to the one in the summer of 2023.
