Greivis Vasquez, the Nets back-up point guard, will not participate as planned in the Rio Olympics, according to statements released early Friday morning by Sean Marks and Vasquez. The reasoning is that Vasquez, recovering from bone spur surgery last January while will the Bucks, will need "time to get back to full strength."
The statements were put out on the Nets twitter account.
Vasquez also put out a statement in Spanish to his Venezuelan fans...
None of the statements indicated how the decision would affect Vasquez's readiness for the start of training camp, now two months away.
