The NBA officially announced the rosters for its NBA Africa Game 2017,, an exhibition matchup between a team of NBA players originally from the continent of Africa and a world team, made up of players with origins from elsewhere in the globe. The game is scheduled to take place on August 5, and will include Boston Celtics wing Jaylen Brown (as a member of the world team).
The selection is somewhat surprising. Brown is slightly less established than many of the games other participants. For those that follow the Celtics closely, however, his invitation may make more sense.
