Bradley Beal is withdrawing from Team USA consideration for the FIBA World Cup, as the Washington Wizards guard is expecting the birth of his second child, his agent Mark Bartelstein told ESPN’s Brian Windhorst.
Beal joins Anthony Davis, James Harden, Eric Gordon and CJ McCollum as players to withdraw from the team in the past two weeks.
Team USA’s camp will be Aug. 5 through Aug. 9 in Las Vegas.
Beal is considered one of the best shooting guards in the league, just missing out from an All-NBA nod this past season.
Bradley Beal has been USA basketball since he was in high school, but despite wanting to play for the team will not suit up for the team that is slated to compete in the FIBA World Cup from Sept. 1 through Sept. 15 in China.
Team USA will announce the final 12-man roster on Aug. 17.
