Prior to the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup, Kyle Kuzma suffered an ankle injury that unfortunately prevented him from making Team USA’s final 12-man roster in China.
After Kuzma returned home, Team USA finished in seventh place led by four members of the Boston Celtics: Kemba Walker, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart.
Team USA managing director Jerry Colangelo later shared Kuzma was going to be a ‘big help’ before the ankle injury.
