Houston Rockets guard Eric Gordon will skip the 2019 World Cup. As Shams Charania of The Athletic reports, Gordon has withdrawn his participation from the training camp of Team USA and thus won’t be in the tournament.
Gordon is the third player that withdraws from joining Team USA in the World Cup. His Rockets teammate James Harden said that he won’t play in the tournament Friday while Anthony Davis announced that he won’t join Team USA this summer.
Philadelphia 76ers and Australia star Ben Simmons will also be absent from the tournament.
