Former NBA player reaches Olympic beach volleyball KO round

Quick Summary:

PARIS — Former NBA player Chase Budinger and partner Miles Evans were the last team to reach the knockout stage of the beach volleyball tournament at the Paris Olympics.

France’s two men’s and two women’s teams won only one of 13 matches and only four sets total, but played in front of joyous crowds at the Eiffel Tower Stadium, including President Emmanuel Macron, soccer star Zinedine Zidane and oodles of celebrities and Instagram-posting fans.

Earlier on Saturday night, Japan beat France in the other women’s lucky loser matchup, eliminating the last of the host teams from the tournament.
