In preparation for the upcoming Olympics, Team USA basketball lost two exhibition games (to Nigeria and Australia), and Syracuse basketball legend Carmelo Anthony surely could have provided some veteran leadership and scoring ability.
Yeah it’s early, the games didn’t mean anything, but they didn’t look good. And the roster is going through hard times.
According to USA Basketball, Kevin Love left the team due to injury and Bradley Beal is no longer on the roster due to health and safety protocols. Former Syracuse basketball player Jerami Grant was also placed in protocols but is not positive for Covid and hopefully will return.
