There could be a solid contingent of Celtics at FIBA World Cup

A number of Celtics may be repping red, white, and blue this summer.

As Team USA begins to assemble its roster for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, at least three of Boston’s players have received invitations to participate in training camp in August. New point guard Kemba Walker will be joined by both forward Jayson Tatum and guard Marcus Smart.

Smart expressed his excitement on social media Monday night, tweeting: “I love [playing], don’t matter where. But playing for USA basketball is [something] I’ve been a part of for a while. I take it serious & am ud83dude4fud83cudffe to even be thought of.
