The 37-year-old forward was initially on the lineup formed by head coach Norman Black but was also ultimately scratched out due the ruling.

Likewise, big man Ange Kouame, who was also part of the 12-man roster, cannot play for the 5-on-5 team although he was lined up for the 3x3 team as that event allowed naturalized players.
