Ah, kids.

U.S. center Anthony Davis sat on the bench in the first half of Thursday night's 156-73 demolition of Nigeria because he wasn't wearing his jersey. The 19-year-old realized he didn't have on his uniform top as he was about to check into the game. It's not clear if one of his teammates hid it on him or he simply forgot to slip it on.

Davis went into the Olympic game during the second half, apparently after retrieving the jersey at halftime.

The teenager finished with 9 points as the Americans made 29 3-pointers and smashed several team and Olympic records in the blowout.
