Russell Westbrook has withdrawn from the 2016 Olympics with the United States.

Westbrook won a gold medal with the United States in the 2012 Olympics.

“After speaking with my family, I have decided to not participate in this year’s Olympics," said Westbrook. "This was not an easy decision, as representing my country at the World Championships in 2010 and the Olympics in 2012 were career highlights for me. I look forward to future opportunities as a member of USA Basketball.”
