The Double Pump Elite team was beaten in its opening game of the Adidas Super 64 in Las Vegas, and it didn’t help that several players were absent because of injury or summer school.

Tyler Lamb of Ontario Colony is supposed to play Wednesday. He could have helped Los Osos guard Kendall Williams, who had nine points in a 77-72 loss to New Jersey’s Playaz Basketball Club Gold. UCLA Coach Ben Howland watched the game from a seat under the basket.

Another Pump team will be without Brea Olinda center Kyle Caudill, who suffered a broken ankle earlier this month.
