The United States' 3x3 team has been eliminated at the Olympics upon a 2-5 record in pool play. Jimmer Fredette was unable to play in the last five games.
"We fought hard, I think we just ran out of gas playing with three," Canyon Barry said. "It's so tough ... my heart still breaks for Jimmer. It's just not fair that someone of that high character has to go through this."
The U.S. opened pool play with four losses.
Despite the early exit, U.S. coach Joe Lewandowski is proud of the strides the team made after missing out on the last Olympics.
"Now, we have to keep building," he said. "Anytime you come to events like this, it sets the stage for the future. You can take this and say ... how can we get better, and that's how you improve as a country and that's what we do with USA Basketball."
