PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — NBA labor issues will keep Michael Jordan from going to Australia to be an assistant captain for the U.S. team at the Presidents Cup.
Fred Couples brought Jordan along to the last Presidents Cup in San Francisco, and signed him up again for the Nov. 17-20 matches at Royal Melbourne. The Chicago Bulls great was to be an assistant captain with Jay Haas.
Jordan is the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, and had to back out as the NBA continues its lockout of players. Couples replaced him with John Cook.
