Hong Kong basketball players react to Asian Games exclusion

Hong Kong basketball teams will not participate in the Asian Games this year due to a reduction in participating teams. Players expressed sadness but not surprise, as the sport's governing body in Hong Kong may have known about the decision for a month while still calling up players for training. The organizers are cutting the number of men's teams to 12, the lowest in 24 years, with the women's competition also at 12 teams.
