Kemba Walker (neck) didn’t play, joining Boston Celtics teammates Jayson Tatum (left ankle) and Marcus Smart (left hand) on the U.S. injured list. White started in Walker’s place at point guard.
Tim Reynolds: Enormous credit to the disappointed USA players who came out and talked to us tonight — Kemba, Donovan, Joe Harris, Harrison Barnes, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart, I might be missing some, and no one ducked requests. First class.
The descriptions of Kemba Walker from three of his Team USA mates, who just happen to be Celtics, make clear they’re drawing a comparison, even if they didn’t realize it. “He fits in perfectly. Everything that Brad envisions as players, (Kemba) has it,” said Marcus Smart, referring to Boston coach Brad Stevens. “I didn’t know how down to Earth and how humble he was,” Jaylen Brown said. “He’s really humble, and a guy like that you always want to be around because he gives off good energy,” Smart added. “I think that resiliency that he carries will fit Boston’s personality very well,” Brown continued.
The Americans were angered not just by the foul but also because Thanasis Antetokounmpo didn’t initially apologize for the perceived cheap shot, which happened right in front of the U.S. bench. “The [no apology] escalated it,” Marcus Smart said. “At that moment, you’ve got to take it for what it is. Regardless of whether you feel like it was wrong or right, it was wrong.”
