And one more ! After Walker Kessler a few hours ago, it’s Cam Johnson’s turn to join Team USA for the 2023 World Cup. There are only two places left to take with the Americans.
Steve Kerr continues to shop among players for the World Cup this summer. The Team USA coach is in the process of building a team that is not gross at all. Already ten players have answered the call of the flag for the competition co-hosted by Japan, the Philippines and Indonesia. We list: Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, Jalen Brunson, Austin Reaves, Brandon Ingram, Mikal Bridges, Jaren Jackson Jr., Bobby Portis, Walker Kessler et donc Cam Johnson teaches us ESPN.
Brooklyn Nets F Cam Johnson has committed to play for Team USA’s FIBA World Cup team this summer in the Philippines, sources tell ESPN. He’ll join Nets teammate Mikal Bridges on USA Basketball’s developing plans for a 12-man roster.

Transferred to the Nets this season along with Mikal Bridges, also called up for selection, Cam Johnson will therefore play his first international competition with his country. We notice in this list that, as often, Uncle Sam sends a version B (or even C) for the World Championship, keeping the superstars fresh for the Olympic Games in a year. Still, on paper, there is a lot of talent, scorers, players who give their all on the pitch, some good defenders too. It’s solid.
There are only two tickets left for Steve Kerr to distribute. One of them might end up in Fred VanVleet’s pocket. According The Athletic, the leader of the Raptors would have been approached to play the competition. He has not yet confirmed his participation.
Team USA officials have reached out to Fred VanVleet in recent days to gauge his interest in the FIBA World Cup this summer, a source tells @joevardon.
