Houston Rockets: PJ Tucker Withdraws from Team USA Basketball

Team USA has had a much tougher time fielding a good team this year. Nearly all of the NBA’s star players declined an opportunity to play for Team USA this summer, including the Rockets’ own James Harden, Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, and so many more. At this point, any other players withdrawing from the roster are vital blows for Team USA. Unfortunately there is one more. According to Shams Charania of the Athletic, P.J. Tucker has also withdrawn.

Tucker had just advanced an additional round of roster cuts, as I previously wrote about, but decided to withdraw today.
