Adams rules himself out of Olympic qualifiers
With the absence of so many stars, compounded by the significant ticket prices, I really can't justify going to the game at Rod Laver Arena. It's a shame, but BA have just priced this series too high given neither team will be at full strength.

"Due to scheduling conflicts over the coming months and Steven's focus on being ready for the start of the 2015-16 regular season, Steven would not have been able to join the national team until very late in their tour," explained Adams' management, Wasserman Media Group.
“Because he does not think it is the right thing to join the team so late in the process he will not be participating with the New Zealand national team in the Oceania series.
“While he won't he playing this year, Steven remains very keen to be part of the team in future competitions,” the statement said.
