The FIBA World Cup is fast approaching, with national teams around the world entering training camps and playing non-competitive warm-up games. Fortunately, there aren’t many members of the Boston Celtics roster that are set to take part in the tournament.
On July 27, it was reported that Al Horford had been added to the Dominican Republic’s extended World Cup roster. However, it would now appear that Horford won’t be making the trip to Japan, the Philippines, and Indonesia. According to Dorde Malesevic of BasketballSphere.com both Horford and Chris Duarte have been removed from the Dominican Republic’s roster and won’t be participating in the World Cup.
