China News Service, Beijing, July 20. According to foreign media reports, due to the US men's basketball player LaVine triggering a health and safety agreement, he will not go to Tokyo with the US men's basketball team for the time being. Only 8 members of the team are left to fly to Tokyo.
The U.S. men's basketball team competing in the Tokyo Olympics was ill-fated.
Not long ago, Washington Wizards shooting guard Bill was forced to withdraw from the US team because of triggering a health and safety agreement.
In addition, Kevin Love withdrew from the US men's basketball team due to a leg injury.
After missing two generals in a row, the US men’s basketball team immediately announced that Denver Nuggets center McGee and San Antonio Spurs forward Kelden Johnson entered the team's 12-man roster.
The US Basketball Association hopes that LaVine can lift the restrictions later this week and join the team in Tokyo.
In addition, the US men’s basketball team has three players participating in the NBA Finals. They are Booker of the Suns, Middleton and Holiday of the Bucks. They will also travel to Tokyo after the finals.
"We still have a long way to go," the team coach Popovich said. "We still have a week, although it is not a long time, but we need this time for the team to go further. Get ready to play against a very good French team." (End)
