USA Basketball won't travel to Senegal due to concern about Ebola outbreak in West Africa

USA Basketball will not travel to Senegal on August 27 as scheduled due to concern about Ebola outbreak in West Africa.

Per ESPN, USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo told ESPN.com on Friday that the recent declaration of a "public health emergency of international concern" in the region by the World Health Organization left no alternative for USAB.
The senior men's national team, led by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, had been scheduled to make its first visit to Africa on Aug. 27 for an all-day procession of clinics, tours and receptions in Dakar.
USAB announced in mid-July that it was planning to send its entire World Cup traveling party to Senegal for a day after the team's final exhibition game this month: Aug. 26 against Slovenia in Gran Canaria, Spain. The team was to have joined Senegal's national team in conducting a youth clinic for local children in addition to touring Senegal's historic Goree Island and concluding the visit by attending a reception hosted by the Senegalese government.
