The United States men's national basketball team will compete in the 2019 FIBA Basketball World Cup. After rule changes by the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) in 2015, the U.S. no longer automatically qualified for the World Cup despite winning the Olympics in 2016. Changes in timing also resulted in the qualifying rounds overlapping with the National Basketball Association's (NBA) season. Consequently, USA Basketball decided to deploy squads of players mostly from the NBA G League, the NBA's development league. Coached by Jeff Van Gundy, they qualified the U.S. for the World Cup, when the Americans plans to switch to a team of NBA players coached by Gregg Popovich. After winning the past two World Cups in 2010 and 2014, Team USA is seeking to become the first country to capture three straight gold medals.
