LAS VEGAS — Jayson Tatum of the NBA champion Boston Celtics was not present Saturday for the start of the U.S. men's Olympic basketball training camp, excused because of personal reasons. Tatum is expected to join the team by Monday, when it will have the third of its four camp practices in Las Vegas. The team plays its first exhibition on Wednesday against Canada, then leaves Thursday for nearly five weeks abroad — going first to Abu Dhabi, then to London, then finally to Paris for the Olympics.
