Bam Adebayo has been released from Team USA following their intrasquad scrimmage on Friday night. With that, he will not be participating in the FIBA World Cup. He wasn’t the only player cut last night, with NBA veteran Thaddeus Young headed home as well.
Bam was a late invitation to the Team USA training camp, and performed very well according to the snippets seen on social media.
According to the Miami Herald, he was excited about the prospect of going to China and being the first Team USA player to represent the Heat since LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
