United States heading to the 2027 World Cup in Qatar: Anthony Edwards is not interested in playing in non-Olympic competitions.
The United States may have won gold at the 2024 Olympics in Paris, but it must already be thinking about its roster for the next World Cup, which will be held in Qatar in 2027. The New York Times reports that Anthony Edwards has decided not to play with his national team in the next World Cup, while the Minnesota Timberwolves star has expressed interest in playing in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.
