ANALYSIS: Zach LaVine entered health and safety protocols earlier this week but will still be able to participate in the Tokyo Olympics after clearing the protocols Tuesday night. Losing LaVine would have been devastating for Team USA after it was announced last week that they would be without starting shooting guard Bradley Beal because of a positive COVID test.
