AUBURN HILLS -- Andre Drummond will not be on the 2016 U.S. Olympic team according to tweets today by ESPN's Marc Stein.

The Detroit Pistons center is a USA Basketball finalist for the Rio Games and his candidacy was boosted by a series of injuries among big men and withdrawals by other players.

According to Stein's Twitter posts, Drummond will not play in the Olympics and DeAndre Jordan of the Los Angeles Clippers will fill one of the contested spots among centers. DeMarcus Cousins of the Sacramento Kings is expected to be one of the U.S. centers.
