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.
