Team USA is still the strong favorite to take home gold in both men's and women's basketball at Tokyo, but it's getting harder and harder to ignore their stumbles.
The latest negative development came on Friday, when the women's team lost an exhibition game 70-67 to an Australian team missing its star player in Liz Cambage, who announced her withdrawal from the Olympics the night before.
In Cambage's absence, 21-year-old Seattle Storm center Ezi Magbegor stepped up to post a team-high 17 points, five rebounds and three steals, shooting 6-of-7 from the field.
