On the heels of the most productive season of his eight-year NBA career, Tobias
Harris was one of 20 players selected to attend this summer’s prestigious USA
Basketball Men’s National Team training camp.
The first phase of the Team USA camp will be held August 5th through 9th in Las
Vegas, and mark Harris’ first event with the program since 2015, when he was
first named to the Men’s National Team roster.
The training camp will be used to determine the 12-player roster that will
represent the United States in this year’s FIBA World Cup, which will be hosted
by China from August 31st through September 15th.

“This group of players was picked for a variety of different reasons,” said
Gregg Popovich, Team USA’s head coach. “You’ll find players who are already
stars, others who have improved year in and year out, others who are budding
stars.
“Each of them certainly deserves to have the honor to try out for the team.”
Following an intrasquad scrimmage August 10th in Las Vegas, the Men’s National
Team will resume training in Los Angeles, where it will continue its exhibition
slate August 16th versus Spain.
