Crabb, 29, was set to make his Olympic debut alongside beach volleyball veteran and four-time Olympian Jake Gibb, who is 16 years his senior. It's unclear who will fill in next to Gibb if Crabb is indeed unable to compete.
The duo was initially scheduled to have their first match of the Tokyo Games on Sunday, July 25, against the Italian pairing of Adrian Carambula and Enrico Rossi.
Crabb’s brother, Trevor, told the NBC News affiliate in Los Angeles that Taylor is “fine and healthy and should be allowed to play, in my personal opinion.”
