Incredible. That’s the only way to describe Joe Harris‘ rise. The Brooklyn Nets sharpshooter was once an afterthought in the NBA. Now he’ll represent his country at the 2019 FIBA World Cup in China.
Kyle Kuzma of the Los Angeles Lakers was forced to withdraw due to an ankle injury, cementing the final 12-man roster.
Kuzma is returning to Los Angeles for treatment and here is your @usabasketball roster for the @FIBAWC:
Harrison Barnes
Jaylen Brown
Joe Harris
Brook Lopez
Khris Middleton
Donovan Mitchell
Mason Plumlee
Marcus Smart
Jayson Tatum
Myles Turner
Kemba Walker

While this is remarkable news for Harris, Team USA is limping to China after a slew of dropouts led to Select Team members making the final roster.
