Victor Oladipo appears not to be playing in this year’s Olympics as he was left off Nigeria’s preliminary roster for the 2016 Olympics, according to Sportando.
Nigeria qualified for the Olympics through its win at Afrobasket last summer and is sending a roster full of NBA and former NBA players including Al-Farouq Aminu, Festus Ezeli, Thanassis Antetokounmmpo, Ike Diogu and former Orlando Magic center Olumide Oyedeji.
Oladipo is still under consideration for a spot on the roster, but the coaching staff did not want to put any pressure on him to make a decision or announce anything before it was official.
