Somebody told The Associated Press on Friday on condition of anonymity. However, the Nigeria delegation has not publicly commented.
The team made it to the area where it was supposed to board the boat for the ceremony. But the group was denied entry by a Nigerian official who told the players and coaches there were too many people on board.
The female basketball players and their coaches then made their way to the athletes village after being turned away.
