The Latest: Andrew Bogut not playing in game against China

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — The Latest on the Olympics being held in Rio de Janeiro (all times local):

2:50 p.m.

Australian center Andrew Bogut is not playing in a preliminary round game against China.

Bogut, who recently returned to action after injuring his left knee in the NBA Finals, was not on the bench as the Aussies took on a team they were expected to easily handle.

There was no immediate word from the Australian team on Bogut, who sat on the bench and cheered on his teammates. The 31-year-old's presence has been a big reason why the Aussies are in contention to win their first medal in men's Olympic basketball.
