No Gilbert Arenas on this summer’s Team USA

The Washington Post (Michael Lee) reports: Gilbert Arenas will not be invited to try out for the U.S. men’s Olympic basketball team this summer, national team managing director Jerry Colangelo said on Friday afternoon. Speaking after a ceremony to announce the finalists for Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, Colangelo said USA Basketball will invite 18 players to Las Vegas for a short training camp June 27-30 to determine which 12 players will represent the country in Beijing. “He’s not part of the mix,” Colangelo said of Arenas. “Not at this point, because of what transpired the first year and he was out the second year. He’s on the roster, but as of right now, we don’t see him as one of the 18.”
