Tyler Zeller looking forward to USA Basketball debut
Posted Nov 27, 2018
Tyler Zeller spent the last few weeks waiting for a team to call. His country came through. When USA Basketball resumes its quest to qualify for the 2019 FIBA World Cup, Zeller will be wearing the red, white and blue. The NBA veteran and current free agent is one of 12 players on the squad for this two-game qualifying window, which starts with a matchup Thursday at Argentina.
