Another Olympic gold medal hopeful will not compete in the Tokyo Olympics.
Katie Lou Samuelson, a key member of Team USA's first-ever 3x3 women's basketball team, was placed in COVID-19 health and safety protocols on Saturday and will not compete in the tournament, USA Basketball announced on Monday.
"Our hearts are broken for Lou," USA Basketball 3x3 said in a statement on Twitter. "We thank her for her endless commitment to building up USA Basketball 3x3 & we will miss her dearly in Tokyo."
Samuelson, a member of the Seattle Storm, will be replaced by Las Vegas Aces guard Jackie Young.
