A former Michigan State basketball star is committing to represent Team USA in the FIBA World Cup. Earlier this week, it was reported by Adrian Wojnarowski that Jaren Jackson Jr. has committed to play for Team USA in the event that takes place every four years.
Team USA will look to redeem themselves after a horrible showing in 2019, where they didn’t even finish in the top four teams, after losing to both France and Serbia.
The event will take place in the Philippines from August 25 through September 10.
ESPN Sources: Two Western Conference All-Star forwards — New Orleans' Brandon Ingram and Memphis' Jaren Jackson Jr., — are committed to play for Team USA's FIBA World Cup team this summer in the Philippines. USA Basketball plans to finalize a 12-man roster later this month.
