Changes made to Team USA roster

Derrick White has earned the opportunity to impress Gregg Popovich ahead of the upcoming World Cup

Team USA continued preparations for their upcoming World Cup campaign on Friday night as Gregg Popovich's men defeated a Select USA Team 97-78.

While Team USA looked impressive throughout the routine win, Derrick White and Marvin Bagley III managed to impress for the Select team, and the young duo will replace Thaddeus Young and Bam Adebayo on the senior roster.

ESPN is also reporting that a number of senior stars are doubts heading into next week due to recurring injury issues:

The team now has 17 players on the roster, with injured guards Kyle Lowry (thumb) and Marcus Smart (calf) to be reexamined early next week. There probably will be another cut before next weekend.

Popovich will trim down his roster to just 12 players ahead of the World Cup's start on September 1st.

White centers the camp following a season that he averaged 9.9 points and 5.0 assists per game. Meanwhile, Bagley III averaged 14.9 points and 7.6 rebounds during his debut season in Sacramento.

Miami Heat still interested in John Wall and Bradley Beal

Bradley Beal and John Wall are among the Wizards biggest assets

The Miami Heat managed to pull off a huge surprise by signing Jimmy Butler earlier this summer, although the franchise will still struggle to compete with the likes of the Milwaukee Bucks and Philadelphia 76ers.

Nevertheless, Pat Riley remains ambitious and explored a deal for Russell Westbrook before the former All-Star headed to Houston.

While it will be difficult for the Heat to add further talent this offseason, the Miami Herald is reporting that Riley remains keen on Washington's All-Star duo of Bradley Beal and John Wall:

The Heat loves Beal and because of the internal belief that Miami can get Wall back to All-Star level following his ruptured Achilles, which is expected to sideline him this upcoming season.

Wall and Beal have been named to multiple All-Star team's, and the dynamic duo led the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Semifinals in 2014, 2015 and 2017.
