Rajon Rondo will not be joining Team USA in their quest to win gold in the 2010 FIBA World Championships due to family matters and other problems.

“Rajon came to us and said he was going to withdraw from the team, that he had some family matters to attend to and some things to take care of before the NBA season. He did an outstanding job during our training, we appreciate the effort and commitment he made to our program and he completely has our support,” said Colangelo.
