Report: Camby Unable To Join USA Team

USA Basketball wanted Marcus Camby to be part of its senior men's national team, but the Nuggets center turned down an invitation Wednesday because of a "serious family situation," the Denver Post reported.

Camby was extended an invitation on Monday, Jerry Colangelo, USA Basketball's senior men's team managing director, told the Post. Camby was grateful to be included in the organization's plans, according to the newspaper, but by Wednesday his agent told Colangelo his client could not accept it.

Team USA Interested In Camby, But Decision Must Wait

USA Basketball spokesman Craig Miller acknowledged Tuesday that managing director Jerry Colangelo is interested in adding Nugget bigman Marcus Camby to the national team program.

Because of his family obligations, Camby has yet to talk to Colangelo.

Camby's agent, Rick Kaplan, said an invitation would be "flattering" but Camby's family situation might prevent him from playing.

Camby's wife recently gave birth to a baby girl - the couple also has a 4-year-old daughter - and the prospect of spending much of his next two summers on the road and in the gym might not be very appealing.
