Jazz notes: Gordon Hayward eyes a spot on the U.S. Olympics team

Utah Jazz forward Gordon Hayward, center, is fouled while taking a shot in the second half of an NBA basketball game against the Sacramento Kings at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City, Thursday, Jan. 14, 2016.

Gordon Hayward is one of 30 American players who has been selected by USA Basketball to try out for the team.

NEW YORK — While he was in Salt Lake City last week, Kobe Bryant divulged that he will not pursue a spot on the 2016 Olympics team as he mulled it over earlier this season.

"I think it’s the young guys’ turn to go and play and perform," Bryant said.
