Russell Westbrook has withdrawn from USA Basketball's roster for the World Cup in Spain.

Westbrook was part of the USA teams in 2010 and 2012, and he hopes to still play in the 2016 Olympics.

Westbrook's decision leaves a spot open for Stephen Curry, Kyrie Irving and Damian Lillard. Derrick Rose is still contemplating whether he will play.

Westbrook, Chris Paul and Deron Williams were the USA point guards in 2012.
