The U.S. men's basketball team apparently had a bit of a bumpy transition as they arrived in Rio for the Olympics this week.

TMZ reports that DeAndre Jordan, DeMarcus Cousins, DeMar DeRozan, and as many as three other unidentified players found themselves in an establishment called Termas Monte Carlo on Wednesday night, which Rolling Stone has called one of the "high-end brothels" in Rio.

The players apparently thought they were going to a spa. According to TMZ, the business claims it's a men's-only spa that plays music and has a full bar.

"They realized it wasn't the right place for them and immediately left," a source close to the team told TMZ.

Pretty eventful start to the Games for Team USA.
