Footage Emerges From Team USA’s Embarrassing Scrimmage Loss To G-League Players (VIDEO)

It still may be way too early for Team USA to panic just ahead of the FIBA World Cup in China, but the team is likely lacking on confidence after news broke that they faced off in a tune-up scrimmage at the Los Angeles Lakers’ UCLA Health Training Center against G-League talent and got beat.

In fact, the most accomplished player on the team was John Jenkins, who is a former Vanderbilt sharpshooter who averaged 5.0 points per game in five career NBA season with five different teams. Yeah, that’s how bad this loss was.

This team just defeated the USA Basketball squad headed to China 36-17 in a scrimmage. Are we sure we're sending the right team? https://t.co/PhB2KakEpb

A collection of G-League/overseas players beat Team USA (closing line up of K. Walker, D. Mitchell, H. Barnes, PJ Tucker and B. Lopez handily in a scrimmage just now to close USA practice. Great effort from the unheralded group.
