Chris Bosh wavers on joining U.S. at world championship

Fans might want to hold off on ordering Chris Bosh USA Basketball jerseys from this summer's world championship team.

A report that Bosh had committed to play for the United States in Turkey in August was premature.

"I don't know where that came from, really," Bosh said Saturday. "I have not fully committed. I know there's a whole bunch of stuff going on this summer, I just want to attack that first."

The "whole bunch of stuff" refers to Bosh's impending free agency and the decision on where he'll play next season. Until that gets squared away, he's not about to reprise the role he played on the U.S.'s gold medal Olympic squad.

"It depends on how fast it is," he said. "That's a quick turnaround. (NBA) negotiations start July 1, there's a (USA Basketball) mini-camp mid-July and then a month later (the worlds).

"I just want to take care of my business matters first and there's no telling how long that'll take."
