Bam Adebayo will join Team USA in training camp ahead of the 2019 FIBA World Cup, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported.
Team USA had roster spots to fill after players such as Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, James Harden, Bradley Beal, Anthony Davis, Kevin Love, Zion Williamson and Montrezl Harrell, among others, either withdrew or chose not to participate.
Adebayo’s invite comes after he played all 82 games (28 starts) for the Heat last season. Between his rookie season and last season, the 22-year-old Kentucky product improved his averages across the board. In 2018-19, he averaged 8.9 points, 7.3 rebounds and 2.2 assists.
