Team USA’s roster for the FIBA World Cup is set, and the final list of 12 players selected by coach Mike Krzyzewski included just one major snub. 2013 Rookie of the Year Damian Lillard was cut from the team, with Coach K preferring a backcourt of Steph Curry, James Harden, Klay Thompson, Kyrie Irving, Derrick Rose and DeMar DeRozan.
In response, Lillard posted this photo on his Instagram account Saturday.
“This is team USA letting me go. My head up, spirits up, and I’m going back to work. #TeamAdidas #JustGetBetter #WoodOnTheFire”
