Team USA is gearing up for the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup which is scheduled to begin Aug. 31 and with 13 players, they must cut it down to 12 before it officially begins.
Kyle Kuzma is looking like a safer bet each day to make the final roster, but of course nothing is guaranteed.
With De’Aaron Fox unexpectedly withdrawing, it became just one cut that Team USA has to make. With that, Kuzma’s chances of making the final roster continue to rise, especially after a solid performance in the team’s 90-81 victory against Spain at the Honda Center where he recorded seven points, five rebounds, and three assists in 17 minutes.
