After not featuring for Team USA in Sunday’s Olympic opener, Jayson Tatum is set to log some minutes in the upcoming game against South Sudan on Wednesday.
Steve Kerr, coach of the U.S. men’s team, discussed his usage of the Celtics’ star following Tatum’s conspicuous absence from the lineup in the 110-84 win over Serbia on Sunday.
“For sure the hardest part of this job is you’re sitting at least a couple of guys who are world class, some of the very best players on earth,” Kerr told reporters on Monday.
“On the one hand, it makes no sense at all,” Kerr admitted.
