Trae Young leaves Team USA camp

Trae Young won't represent Team USA in the upcoming FIBA Basketball World Cup.

The Atlanta Hawks point guard and former Oklahoma star left Team USA camp Thursday due to a "minor eye infection," according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

"It is with deep sadness that I have to leave USA Basketball Minicamp to deal with a minor injury," Young tweeted. "Although I look forward to seeing Coach Popovich and the team bring home the gold this summer, I feel it is most important for me at this moment in my career to focus on my health and preparing for the NBA season with the Atlanta Hawks.
