Nothing is too good to prepare Team USA for an international competition. In order for the main team to be ready for the start of hostilities, The Athletic reported this Thursday evening the creation of a reserve group, intended to challenge the workforce of Steve Kerr during training camp. Among the players selected, Chet Holmgren, Keegan Murray… and Cade Cunningham!
What to read in this information? Good news and bad news. Let’s start with the good one, it will be more fun. Cade Cunningham is going to play basketball again, in a very competitive setting, moreover. Pistons fans can smile, their major star is doing well, and will be polishing his return in the company of some of the best players in the NBA. Injured in the tibia, he had to be operated on in December 2022, and had only been able to play 12 games during the regular 2022-23. A heartbreak that therefore ends. With his return, Detroit will finally be able to pass the second, hoping to play a potential Play-in next year.
Oklahoma City’s Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams, Detroit’s Cade Cunningham, Houston’s Jalen Green and Sacramento’s Keegan Murray are among group of rising American stars who will join Team USA for FIBA World Cup training camp next month, per sources.

Now the bad news. Yeah, because you have to admit that a team made up of such talents is freaking out. Chet Holmgren, Keegan Murray, Cade Cunningham, Jalen Green, Jalen Williams… only a few names are revealed by The Athletic, but hey. At first glance, we are talking about a team that would slap a lot of selections at the end of August. This group called Team USA Select Team is, as is customary in other countries, also a reservoir of potential replacements in the event of injury in the first team. A more complete announcement is expected from the American selection, in particular with all the members. The group will join Team USA on August 3, for a preparation camp in Las Vegas.
