Andre Drummond has withdrawn from the USA National Team’s training camp for the upcoming World Cup, USA Basketball announced.
Drummond was scheduled to join training camp this week with exhibition contests set for Aug. 16 and the final World Cup roster announced Aug. 17.
With a flood of withdrawals from the top players in the NBA, Drummond was an elder statesmen among those remaining and looked to be locked in as a big-minutes big man and possible starter on the team.
Big man Montrezl Harrell also withdrew and he and Drummond were replaced by Bam Adebayo and Jaren Jackson Jr.
