Eric Gordon will play for Bahamas NT
The Phoenix Suns veteran guard Eric Gordon will play for Bahamas NT despite having played for Team USA in the 2010 World Cup.
Because of Article 22 within its Internal Regulations, USA Basketball permitted Gordon to be released, and FIBA officially acknowledged his switch in national representation.
As per Article 22, participating in a major FIBA competition prevents a player from changing national teams. Gordon had previously been part of the USA’s team in the 2010 FIBA World Cup.
However, if a player enrolls in a national team development program and FIBA deems the change to be beneficial for basketball, alterations to the article’s stipulations can be made.
