The US men’s 3x3 team has failed to qualify for this summer’s Olympics, marking the first time a Team USA basketball has missed out on a Games they have entered. The American disappointment was offset by the women’s team booking their place in Tokyo. The men’s team were the defending world champions but the roster at the Olympic qualifying tournament in Austria had only one player, Robbie Hummel, with any meaningful NBA experience. No current NBA players were being considered for the 3x3 tournament at the Olympics. In April, Hummel spoke to the Guardian about the US’s struggles in the 3x3 game.
