根據ESPN記者Adrian Wojnarowski報導，消息人士透露，在拉斯維加斯為奧運準備 10 天後，克里夫蘭的Kevin Love將退出美國隊，不會前往東京。Love仍在從右小腿受傷中恢復，他也因為這個傷勢缺席多場 NBA 的比賽。
美國隊現在正在努力湊齊 12 人名單來替換這兩名球員。Bradley Beal和Kevin Love此屆都不會為國出征。
Love的經紀人Jeff Schwartz已經向 ESPN 確認了消息，並分享了 Love 的聲明：「我對沒有隨美國隊前往東京感到非常失望，但你需要絕對的最佳狀態才能參加奧運，而我的狀態還沒有到那裡。」
After spending 10 days in Las Vegas preparing for the Olympics, Cleveland’s Kevin Love is withdrawing from Team USA and won’t travel to Tokyo, sources tell ESPN. Love is still returning to full form from a right calf injury that kept him out a significant part of the NBA season.
