Golden State Warriors and USA Basketball head coach Steve Kerr is making a change
USA Basketball defeated Serbia on Sunday to move to 1-0 in the Paris Olympics Group Phase. It was a convincing win for Team USA, but it did not come without controversy, as head coach Steve Kerr did not play Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum a single minute.
"I went with the combinations that made sense," Kerr told reporters on the decision to keep Tatum on the bench. "That was for tonight. He handled it well. He’ll make his mark." "He handled it really well," Kerr said. "I talked to him today before the game that it may play out this way just with Kevin coming back... But that will change. Jayson is gonna play. Every game will be different, based on matchups... I felt like an idiot not playing him, but in a 40 minute game you can't play more than 10... He'll be back out there next game."
