    Ben Gordon is looking forward to linking up again with Luol Deng after confirming he will play for GB this summer.

    NBA guard Gordon, 27, played with GB skipper Deng at Chicago Bulls before moving to the Detroit Pistons last summer.

    Gordon's contract negotiations the last two close-seasons have prevented the London-born ace playing for GB before.

    But he has finally declared himself available for this summer's 2011 Eurobasket qualifiers ahead of the Olympics.

    "I am committed and just waiting on the date before we start getting rolling," said Gordon.

    "I still have a lot of family who live in London who will be very proud to see me represent my country.
