Chicago Bulls guard Zach LaVine did not travel with the U.S. men’s basketball team to Tokyo on Monday for the Olympics.
The team announced shortly before it was scheduled to fly that LaVine had entered the health and safety protocols for COVID-19.
The move was made “out of an abundance of caution,” according to a news release from USA Basketball, which added that it hopes LaVine will be able to join the team in Tokyo later this week.
Zach LaVine has been placed under USA Basketball’s health & safety protocols & will not travel with the team to Tokyo today.
