Matthew Dellavedovas Olympic Games preparations have taken a hit after the NBA star was forced to sit out of Tuesday nights match between the Australian Boomers and the Pac-12 All-Stars in Melbourne.After becoming the fourth Australian in three years to win the NBA Championship last month, Dellavedova put his signature to a $38 million contract that would see him depart his championship-winning Cleveland Cavaliers for the Milwaukee Bucks.However, the Victorian native is still awaiting his insurance to be processed by the NBA and as a result had to watch on as the Boomers grinded out a nine-point win at Hisense Arena.Without insurance, if he played and was injured, his medical expenses and rehabilitation would not be covered by the NBA.Speaking after the match, Boomers coach Andrej Lemanis said he was frustrated by Dellavedovas forced omission, insisting it was out of his control.Yeah its one of those things. From our point of view, we found out last Friday so we were hoping that he would be cleared to play, Lemanis said.We thought that we would get something overnight, but it didnt come. Thats just not a process that we can control.Its unfortunate, it is what it is, well move on and hopefully hell be ready on Thursday.The Boomers and Pac-12 All-Stars again lock horns on Thursday night for their second and final match.Boomers believe they can win goldDellavedovas interrupted Olympic preparation has seen himm travel between Australia and the United States three times in 10 days.dddddddddddd?After arriving in Melbourne early last week, Dellavedova was forced to leave the Boomers camp to fly back to Milwaukee for a medical before his transfer could be completed. He then returned to Melbourne days later to re-join the squad, which has now been reduced to 12.San Antonio Spurs guard Patty Mills, who impressed with his sublime vision and three-point shooting against the Pac-12 All-Stars, said he couldnt wait to line-up alongside his NBA colleague.I think when all of us get out onto the court it will be great, but Delly especially - who has not been able to hit out for this training camp, so far, Mills said.Hes one of those guys that can slide in there as if hes been around the whole time. Hes such a smart point guard. For me Im looking forward to playing with him and in the past weve played really well together.[Im] excited to get out there and wear the green and gold - we dont get a chance that often to do it so its a great opportunity for us.With game two of the farewell series scheduled for Thursday, theres still no guarantee that Dellavedova will take to the court. He may be forced to wait until the Boomers five additional Olympic warm-up matches later in the month in South America. ' ' '
