Kevin Love won’t be taking part within the Tokyo Olympics after withdrawing from Staff USA.
Love’s agent, Jeff Schwartz, on Friday launched the next assertion to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski on behalf of the Cleveland Cavaliers ahead:
“I’m extremely disenchanted to not be heading to Tokyo with Staff USA, however it is advisable to be at absolute peak efficiency to compete on the Olympic stage and I’m simply not there but.”
This comes on the heels of Washington Wizards star Bradley Beal dropping out of the Olympics on Thursday after getting into the well being and security protocol earlier this week.
Denver Nuggets middle JaVale McGee and San Antonio Spurs ahead Keldon Johnson will exchange Love and Beal on Staff USA’s roster, sources informed Wojnarowski.
Love nonetheless is recovering from a proper calf harm he suffered through the 2020-21 NBA season, a problem that finally pressured him to overlook a majority of the marketing campaign. After spending 10 days coaching with Staff USA in Las Vegas, Love apparently did not really feel like he was taking part in at a high-enough stage.
Love received a gold medal with Staff USA in London on the 2012 Olympics. He averaged 12.2 factors and seven.4 rebounds for the Cavaliers final season.
