Joe Harris is going for the gold.

The Nets wing — who worked his way from the NBA scrap heap to become the league’s best shooter last season — made Team USA’s final roster Saturday for the FIBA World Cup.

Harris iced a place on the roster when Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma was ruled out due to an ankle injury. Now Harris — who won the 3-point contest at NBA All-Star weekend, then led the league in 3-point percentage at 47.4 — will bring his shooting stroke to a USA squad that’s been severely weakened.

Team USA tips off its title defense in the FIBA World Cup next Sunday against the Czech Republic in Shanghai.

New Nets stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving both won World Cup gold, and joined fellow Brooklyn newcomer DeAndre Jordan in claiming 2016 Olympic gold in Rio.

It marks an incredible personal climb for Harris. After being dealt, waived and dealing with foot surgery all on the same day in 2016, he was signed to a veteran’s minimum deal by a rebuilding Nets franchise. Since then, he’s turned himself into a key component for a playoff team and one of the NBA’s top shooters.

After being invited to play with the USA Select Team — essentially the practice squad — Harris earned his way onto coach Gregg Popovich’s main roster. He’ll get a shot at gold — and have to get used to China along the way.

The FIBA World Cup runs through Sept. 15. The Nets are expected to open training camp just two weeks later and play the Lakers in two exhibition games in China: Shanghai on Oct. 10 and in Shenzhen, near Hong Kong, on Oct. 12. By then, Harris will know the lay of the land.
