Kemba Walker, Team USA Unbothered by Superstar Departures: 'This is Our Chance'

Team USA may not have the star power of previous seasons as it prepares for the FIBA World Cup in September, but Celtics point guard Kemba Walker isn't worried about the withdrawals of multiple All-NBA players.

James Harden, Anthony Davis and Damian Lillard were among the players to withdraw from Team USA consideration in July, leaving Walker as one of the most accomplished members on the roster slated to play in China in September.

"I think a lot of us are happy those guys pulled out because this is our chance," Walker told the media at Team USA camp in Las Vegas on Tuesday.
