Ten days before the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics, Kara Lawson, the coach of the United States womenâs 3x3 basketball team, gave a press conference. The sport is new to the Olympics this year, and Lawson, a former WNBA player and coach at Duke University, told the dozen or so reporters participating online what she liked about itâthe game is faster-paced, Lawson said, and more unpredictable than the five-on-five version. But during a global pandemic, Lawson added, the health of her players was her number one priority. âWeâre obviously tested daily. Iâm actually quarantined in my room right now,â Lawson said. âWeâre masked all the time ⦠a positive test at this juncture is hard for any team getting ready to go to Tokyo. Weâre focused on doing our part, not just so we can have a good competition, but we definitely feel a responsibility to fellow human beings to be smart about eliminating transmission of the disease worldwide.â
