PARIS -- Jayson Tatum said his limited role playing for Team USA this summer will not affect his decision to play for the national team in the future.

Tatum did not play in two of the six games in the Olympics, including the semifinal victory over Serbia on Thursday. He then came off the bench in the first quarter and played 11 minutes in Team USA's victory in the gold medal game Saturday against France, scoring two points with three rebounds.

"It was a tough personal experience on the court, but I'm not going to make any decision off emotions," Tatum said.
