Burdick, Howard, Van Lith and ??? Are U.S.A.'s 3x3 Hoops Olympic Team (merged)

What's the status of Rhyne Howard's ankle injury?

I think it would be unwise to replace Brink until they know if Howard needs to be replaced as well.

My fantasy league team manager (aka me) would like to know too. I suspect we'll get an update before or after tonight's game?
 
As I remember for the 2021 Olympics, the 3x3 team gathered in Vegas I believe for a few days practice and then flew to Tokyo from Vegas. I suspect USAB will invite replacement candidates to wherever this last practice convenes and then select the replacement(s) just before leaving.

As some suspected based on the USA Basketball metrics/points system.

Based on what we now know, Hamby was the most logical and deserving choice to take the open slot. The fact that she also is a tall, rangy forward who is playing well helps, too. Heal well, Cameron, and congrats to Dearica Hamby for joining the U.S.A. team. Go get it!
 
I have quite enjoyed watching 3x3 these last few years. It is a fast paced and grueling game which incidentally does not allow coaching during the game. The four players on the roster rotate quite frequently - essentially every opportunity - to maintain endurance. The question that has come to mind is what happens with an injury. The team would be effectively limited to three players no substitutions which could be very tough. That would make absolutely imperative the team start with players at an absolute 100% physically.
