MCALLEN, TEXAS - The NBA Development League Champion Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that athletic trainer/strength & conditioning coach Joe Resendez will serve as the physiotherapist for the Great Britain Futures Team this summer.
The Futures team is made up of younger players on the cusp of making the Great Britain Senior Team.
