It’s been quite the rollercoaster ride recently for the Team USA Men’s Basketball squad that began with dropping their first two exhibition games against Nigeria and Australia before beating Argentina in its most recent tune up contest. Now, there are roster changes taking place as Bradley Beal (COVID protocols) and Kevin Love (injury concerns) will not travel with the team to Tokyo for the Olympics, and the team’s exhibition matchup against Australia tonight has been cancelled. Team USA will conclude their exhibition slate on Sunday against Spain.

Along with Beal, Pistons Forward Jerami Grant is the other player that’s currently in COVID protocol but has not tested positive for the virus. As of now, it’s looking like he will be able to travel and play with the team in Tokyo.
