U.S. pole vaulter’s positive test
sends Aussies into isolation
dia, he described a series of
tests over the past several days,
some of which came back posi-
tive, others of which came back
negative.
“It’s really hard to process
something like this,” Chiaravi-
glio said.
Unclear is how many other
athletes might have had con-
tact with Kendricks, how
Olympic officials will figure
that out, and what they might
demand of them with the track
meet only a day away.
Approximately 2,000 athletes
are listed in the track lineup —
the largest sport on the sprawl-
ing Olympic program.
The U.S. Olympic and
Paralympic Committee didn’t
offer details about Kendricks’
positive. A social media post-
ing from his dad, which was
later deleted, said the 28-year-
old from Mississippi, who is a
member of the Army reserve,
had tested positive but was
feeling fine.
“We are following the
USOPC and (local organizer’s)
guidance on next steps to en-
sure the safety of the remain-
der of our delegation, and to
offer support to Sam,” a state-
ment from USA Track and
Field said.
The world record holder,
Sweden’s Armand Duplantis,
said he was shocked to hear of
Kendricks’ withdrawal. This
was supposed to be one of the
top showdowns of the meet.
The final is set for next Tues-
day.
“As far as an hour ago I was
still preparing myself for a big
battle with Sam,” Duplantis
said. “He’s one of my main ri-
vals, and somebody who was
definitely going to push me in
the final.”
Kendricks won the bronze
medal at the 2016 Olympics
and took gold at the past two
world championships. He
holds the American record at
19 feet, 10½ inches.
ton’s rebuilding project after
the James Harden trade to
Brooklyn. The Rockets entered
the night with three first-round
picks after having a league-low
17 wins.
“They’re going to say it’s a
great choice because the goals I
have for myself,” Green said. “I
plan on reaching them.”
Next up was Southern Cali-
fornia freshman big man Evan
Mobley, who went to Cleve-
land at No. 3. The 7-footer has
potential as a mobile big man
with length and the versatil-
ity to switch on switches. He
swept Pac-12 individual hon-
ors while ranking as one of the
nation’s top shot blockers and
helped the Trojans reach an
NCAA regional final for the
first time in 20 years.
Then came the first surprise
of the night with Florida State
forward Scottie Barnes going
to Toronto with the No. 4 pick.
Barnes is a mobile and versatile
6-8 forward with the potential
to be a strong playmaker and
elite defender.
That bumped Gonzaga
freshman point guard Jalen
Suggs down to No. 5 with the
Orlando Magic, followed by
another surprise in Oklahoma
City grabbing 6-foot-8 play-
making teenager Josh Giddey
— considered a potential lot-
tery prospect — from Austra-
lia.
The draft is later than its tra-
ditional late-June slot for the
second straight year due to the
COVID-19 pandemic that in-
terrupted the 2019-20 season.
The 2021-22 season is sched-
uled to return to its normal
schedule, with next year’s draft
set for June again.

TOKYO — The fragile na-
ture of an Olympics during the
pandemic came into sharp fo-
cus Thursday when the entire
Australian track team spent
time in a brief quarantine af-
ter American pole vaulter Sam
Kendricks pulled out of the To-
kyo Games because of a posi-
tive COVID-19 test.
The news about Kendricks
— a two-time world cham-
pion and the American record
holder — deprived the meet of
one of its high-profile athletes,
then rippled across the sport,
which was scheduled to open
less than 24 hours after the an-
nouncement.
He was one of dozens of
athletes on the training track
this week, and Australia an-
nounced it had put its entire
54-person team (41 athletes
and 13 officials) in isolation
and subjected it to testing after
three athletes reported having
casual contact with Kendricks.
A few hours after that, the
Australian Olympic Commit-
tee announced the trio had
tested negative and all but
those three had been cleared to
return to normal activities.
The three athletes remained
in isolation, allowed to resume
practice under strict distancing
protocols. Australia said every-

one was expected to be able to
compete.
“Once again, abundant cau-
tion and our strict protocols
continue to keep the team safe,”
Australian team leader Ian
Chesterman said. “We want ev-
ery Australian athlete to be in a
position to have their Olympic
moment. We will continue to
be vigilant.”
Shortly after Kendricks’
positive test was announced,
another pole vaulter, Germán
Chiaraviglio of Argentina, said
he, too, was out because of a
positive test.

SPORTS BRIEFING
Continued from B3
FOOTBALL
UO’s Wright named to Paul Hornung Award watch
list — Oregon’s Mykael Wright was named to his second pre-
season watch list. The Ducks cornerback is among 57 players
named to the watch list for the Paul Hornung Award, which
is given annually to the most versatile player in major col-
lege football by the Louisville Sports Commission. Previously
named to the Thorpe Award watch list, Wright had 25 tackles
and nine pass breakups as a first-year starter last season. An
Oregon player has never won the Paul Hornung Award.
SEC invites Oklahoma and Texas to join league in
2025 — Southeastern Conference university presidents voted
Thursday to invite Texas and Oklahoma to the league and
create a 16-team powerhouse on the field and at the bank. The
latest step in a move that has potential to help reshape college
sports came two days after Texas and Oklahoma requested to
join the SEC in 2025. That’s when the schools’ media rights
agreement with the Big 12 expires. SEC leaders voted unani-
mously to extend an invitation, effective July 1, 2025.

“It’s still pretty surreal to
me,” Cunningham said. “I
know how much responsibil-
ity comes with being the No.
1 pick. I know how much re-
sponsibility a city will put on
the guy that they take No. 1.
I’m more than excited to take
on those tasks and try to de-
liver to the city of Detroit.”
Cunningham — the first
player in Oklahoma State his-
tory to be picked No. 1 over-
all — joins a Pistons franchise
that has won 20 games for two
straight seasons and hasn’t fin-
ished better than .500 for five
straight years.
