Chaminade will still play in the Maui Invitational next month even if it is moved to Las Vegas as was reported Friday by CBS Sports.
“Chaminade will be playing this year regardless of venue,” Silverswords spokesman Kevin Hashiro said in an email.
Hashiro said an announcement would be made by tournament officials later in the day, but none came.
“If it’s moved, it will be for this year only,” he added.
Restrictions regarding COVID-19 forced last year’s event to be moved to Asheville, N.C.
The preseason tournament, which started in 1984, always attracts top-level men’s college basketball programs.
This year’s field includes Butler, Chaminade, Houston, Notre Dame, Oregon, Saint Mary’s, Texas A&M and Wisconsin.
