COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) — Rajon Rondo could play for the United States after all.
The Boston Celtics point guard was among three players added to the new-look national team roster on Thursday and will take part in training camp next week in Las Vegas.
Newly acquired Dallas center Tyson Chandler and Phoenix center Robin Lopez also were selected and will be among the 21 players who will compete for a chance to play for the Americans in the world championships in Turkey from Aug. 28-Sept. 12.
None of the 2008 Olympic gold medalists were on the list, with many already saying they planned to take the summer off.
USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo said Rondo originally declined to participate, but later said there may have been some miscommunication.
