Team USA completed their 17-hour flight to Australia over the weekend as they continued preparations for the FIBA World Cup in China next month. They were back at practice on Monday and were joined by Marcus Smart on the floor for the first time in two weeks. The Celtics guard had been limited by a sore calf for the first two weeks of camp but was given the all-clear by team doctors after Friday's scrimmage. He wasted no time showing off some of his shooting prowess during the session.
