Zach LaVine Placed Under Health And Safety Protocols, Won't Travel To Tokyo Monday With USA Basketball Team

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Bulls' Zach LaVine has been placed under health and safety protocols and will not be traveling to Tokyo with the USA Basketball team on Monday.

USA Basketball was not more specific, but did say the Olympic team hopes LaVine will be able to join the team in Tokyo later in the week.

In April, LaVine tested positive for COVID-19 and missed about three weeks with the Bulls during the NBA season.

At that time, he said he only had mild symptoms and doesn't know how he got it.
