Has an Olympic team member ever played for the World Cup team again?
The World Cup team is basically a tryout for the new upcoming players to try and make the next Olympic squad. There would be no reason for Ant to do that as he’s already an Olympic team member.

He said no more world cups, not no more Olympics. He did his time on the world cup team and now it’s time for the next round of up and comers to play.

No national pride to represent his country, only interested in the prestige of the Olympics. Sad.

I was looking into Ant’s career because of this post. We all know his path is a little accelerated with the weird covid shortened off-seasons between his rookie and second year.
Even given that, Ant has played a lot of basketball in a short career so far.
Ant is tied with Darius Garland at 2nd in minutes played for the 2019 draft class at 10,392 minutes.
… Except Ant was drafted in 2020. Also, that minute total doesn’t include playoffs and obviously not his FIBA commitments.
Being drafted on 11/18/2020, he hasn’t even been in the league for 4 full calendar years!
