Russell Westbrook won't play for Team USA in World Cup

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook has withdrawn from USA Basketball's roster for the World Cup in Spain this summer.

Westbrook had been part of gold-medal-winning teams in 2010 and '12 in the world championships and Olympics, respectively, and has been a favorite of national coach Mike Krzyzewski.

Westbrook, 25, still has hopes of playing in the 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil.
