Kevin Love to participate in Team USA training camp for spot on 2019 World Cup roster

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- At one point undecided, Cleveland Cavaliers power forward Kevin Love will participate in Team USA’s training camp for a spot on the FIBA World Cup roster.

According to reports, Love is one of 18 players to receive an invite to the August minicamp in Las Vegas ahead of the tournament in China. From there, Team USA head coach Gregg Popovich will trim the roster from 18 to 12.

ESPN reported that Love will join Portland’s Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum, Washington’s Bradley Beal, New Orleans star Anthony Davis, Houston’s James Harden, Eric Gordon and PJ Tucker, Milwaukee’s Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, Boston’s Jayson Tatum, Utah’s Donovan Mitchell, San Antonio’s LaMarcus Aldridge, Detroit’s Andre Drummond and Los Angeles Lakers youngster Kyle Kuzma.

Love was twice asked earlier this season about the possibility of playing for the Americans. He mentioned how Popovich being the coach, taking over for Mike Krzyzewski, would likely play a role in his decision -- and others still on the fence. At that time, Love told cleveland.com he first wanted to regroup after a tumultuous 2018-19 season, see how his body felt, reflect on everything that happened, including an unlucky injury that derailed his season, and then make that National Team decision. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
