USA basketball's Steve Kerr takes blame for not playing Jayson Tatum in Olympic opener: 'I felt like an idiot'

Team USA men’s basketball had their best game this summer in its Paris Olympics opener against Serbia, winning 110-84 to start their tournament on the right foot. 

But while there were lots of things to be happy about if you’re rooting for Team USA, Jayson Tatum not touching the floor during the 40-minute contest turned a lot of heads. 

Head coach Steve Kerr was asked about Tatum’s absence from the rotation in the opener after the win, and he was very blunt about his own mistake in not having him play.
