Zach LaVine doesn t fly to Tokyo Olympics due to protocols

By Zac Wassink | Last updated 7/19/21 Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine did not travel with the Team USA basketball squad Monday to Tokyo for the upcoming Summer Olympics after being placed into health and safety protocols. Per Brian Windhorst of ESPN, USA Basketball is hopeful LaVine will be able to join the team in Japan at some point this week. Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal was ruled out of the Olympics Thursday due to the protocols. Jerami Grant of the Detroit Pistons recently missed four days of work while in contact tracing quarantine. According to Windhorst, LaVine averaged 10.3 points across four exhibition contests for Team USA. Following Monday s developments, only eight players were available to travel with the squad to Japan. Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Devin Booker are set to fly to Tokyo following the ongoing NBA Finals but may not arrive until 24 hours before the U.S. opens its tournament versus France on Sunday.

Tokyo Olympics: USA runner Cole Hocker among unvaccinated athletes

“I’m not really too worried about it, going in,” said Hocker, a Cathedral High School graduate. Swimmer Michael Andrew, who qualified in three individual events, previously said he was not vaccinated. The International Olympic Committee has not required the 10,000 athletes to be vaccinated. The Hocker news comes on a day when the fragile nature of the pandemic-plagued Olympics was underscored. U.S. tennis player Coco Gauff tested positive for the coronavirus, forcing her out of the Olympics. An alternate on the U.S. women’s gymnastics team, Kara Eaker, 18, tested positive for the virus. She is quarantining in a hotel, according to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee.

Nneka Ogwumike, Elizabeth Williams Won t Play for Nigeria After Appeals Denied

Cooper Neill/NBAE via Getty Images A last-ditch effort to get WNBA star Nneka Ogwumike and Elizabeth Williams declared eligible for the Nigeria national team was unsuccessful. FIBA announced the Court Arbitration of Sport rejected an appeal by Ogwumike and Williams to play for Nigeria at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. The organization added that neither player was listed on Nigeria s Olympic roster. Ogwumike and Williams have represented the United States at the international level. The former has earned two gold medals in the FIBA Women s Basketball World Cup in 2014 and 2018. The absence of Olympic gold is one of the glaring omissions in an otherwise Hall of Fame-worthy resume.
