據NBA記者Shams Charania報導，美國隊主席Jerry Colangelo透露，鵜鶘新秀Zion Williamson將退出籃球世界杯美國隊訓練營預備隊。

消息人士透露，Williamson和鵜鶘當下的注意力主要集中在球隊的融入以及新成員的盡快磨合。

 Williamson上賽季場均22.6分領先ACC（大西洋海岸聯盟），在NCAA所有聯盟裡排名第15；投籃命中率68%在ACC排名第1，在NCAA排名第2。場均3.5進攻籃板在ACC排名第1，在NCAA排名第9。這位一年級的新生帶領球隊獲得ACC聯盟的冠軍，打進NCAA錦標賽精英八強。 

Williamson and the Pelicans are focused on having the top pick fully integrated into the franchise and its new additions this offseason -- as quickly as possible. USA has available pool of names to choose from even as players withdraw. https://t.co/8RZjRL1qyc
