Knicks coach Mike D'Antoni will not accompany Team USA to the World Championships in Turkey later this month because of an ailing back, according to sources.
D'Antoni won't need surgery but has been advised against international travel. He will undergo treatment and rehabilitation to prevent the condition from worsening before the start of NBA training camp in late September.
He will be with Team USA throughout its next round of practices next week in New York, according to sources.
It's believed that Raptors coach Jay Triano, already a member of the Team USA staff, will take D'Antoni's spot on the bench in Turkey.
