PARIS -- Team USA got tremendous production up-and-down its lineup in its Olympic-opening 110-84 victory Sunday over Serbia. But it was unavoidable that some of the focus on was coach Steve Kerr choosing to sit first-team All-NBA player and champion Jayson Tatum.
Kerr dealt with the awkward reality head on, first meeting with Tatum before the game to explain the decision and then in multiple meetings with the media. That included Monday when Kerr made it clear that Tatum would be in the lineup Wednesday when the Americans face South Sudan.
