The most recent press release from USA Basketball states that there are 24 participants instead of the previously stated 27 participants, and BG is not on the latest list of participants.

This article says Griner is skipping the non-mandatory mini-camp due to her recent difficult situation,and is still a player in good standing with USA basketball.

This is for the best. Her biggest commitment at this point should be to Glory and her counseling, especially this close to the wedding. This is a very delicate time and she needs to deal with her anger management issues. One has to wonder if this was really BG's decision or if USAB made this decision and this is their way of allowing BG to save face.

I really hope that this does not affect her chances of playing in the Olympics. I cannot imagine that any punishment would carry over to next summer but you never know. Are there any other competitions before the Olympics or only practices?
 
ETT: the team qualified for Rio last summer by winning the world championship tourney....I think that is what it was. The winner was the only
country to qualify....Canada with Kia finished 5th and they do get another chance this summer. I think any games played by the USA between now and Rio are exhibition games..or in some event that has little impact on anything.

Easy: I would hope you are right about Jen getting some recruits in the 50-100 rankings
but it hasn't happened so far.....and her USABasketball jobs have been going on for quite a few years.

My impression of UHart's talent [I would love to be corrected] is that the level
has gone down in recent years.
