You know it's serious when the USA basketball team won't even go to Senegal where there isn't any confirmed ebola cases. Afraid of flying boys? Remember, it isn't airborne so you have nothing to worry about.

The largest recorded outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in West Africa has forced USA Basketball to cancel its scheduled trip to Senegal later this month before the start of the FIBA World Cup.

USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo told ESPN.com on Friday that the recent declaration of a "public health emergency of international concern" in the region by the World Health Organization left no alternative for USAB.

The senior men's national team, led by Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski, had been scheduled to make its first-ever visit to the African continent on Aug. 27 for an all-day procession of clinics, tours and receptions in Dakar.

"I speak for all at USA Basketball when I say we're extremely disappointed we will not be able to visit Senegal," Colangelo said. "Our entire traveling party was very much looking forward to the experience."
