Kyle Kuzma of the Los Angeles Lakers will not play for Team USA in the upcoming FIBA World Cup after it was determined that his left ankle injury would prevent him from participating, USA Basketball announced Saturday.
With the loss of Kuzma, the USA Basketball roster is now finalized with 12 players.
Kuzma did not play in Saturday's exhibition loss to Australia because of the sore ankle. He had scored 12 points in Team USA's win against Australia on Thursday.
