When you watch the Olympics this summer, you will not be seeing Jazz point guard Raul Lopez playing for his native country Spain.

Their is speculation that the Jazz pressured him to sit out this summer to rest his right knee, in which he has torn his ACL twice in the past three years.

Spain is upset with the decision but Lopez's agent is not.

I am very happy with the decision," said (David) Bauman, who is based in Washington, D.C. "I think that in the long-term Raul's career will benefit from the rest he will get this summer."
