USA Basketball announced that Phoenix Suns forward Mikal Bridges has been chosen to participate on the 2019 USA Men’s Select Team. Bridges, along with 12 other top young players, will take part in the USA Basketball National Team’s training camp from Aug. 5-9 in Las Vegas.
“Really honored,” Bridges replied when asked about his reaction to being named to the Select Team. “It’s a blessing. You talk about this and think about this growing up and it’s just really cool to have the opportunity to be in this position.”
Bridges dreamed about one day playing for Team USA and now has his first chance to work side-by-side with the coaches and players that lead the national team.
