The departures from the USA Basketball roster of training camp participants will not change Rockets forward P.J. Tucker’s plans.
Though a handful of players have dropped out, including Rockets teammates James Harden and Eric Gordon, Tucker still plans to participate in the camp and exhibition game next month, Tucker’s agent, Andre Buck said on Monday.
Harden, Gordon, Bradley Beal, C.J. McCollum and Anthony Davis were among the original list of 20 participants in the training camp Aug. 5-8 and exhibition game Aug. 9 in Las Vegas but have opted out for a variety of reasons.
