While strolling through Rio on Wednesday night, a couple members of the U.S. men's basketball team "accidentally" found themselves in a brothel, according to TMZ Sports. DeMarcus Cousins, DeMar DeRozan, and DeAndre Jordan were DeCeived into thinking that the Termas Monte Carlo was a spa—however, it didn't take long for them to discover they were mistaken.  

Located near the Copacabana beach, the Termas Monte Carlo seemingly purposely tries to give off the impression that it is a spa. t's one of the high-end brothels in Rio, perRolling Stone. In their piece titled "The World Cup of Dirty Dreams: Inside Brazil's Most Infamous Brothel," Rolling Stone revealed how things tend to go down at these "termas." 

Centaurus and Rio's other high-end brothels, like Monte Carlo, Solarium and 4x4, are known as termas – which means they're ostensibly spas. The conventions at these places are the same: walk in, get handed a locker key, get naked, put on a robe. Downstairs are the spa accommodations. Upstairs, the girls. This system was conceived by the pioneering top termas, Aeroporto, which used to be located near Santos Dumont, the smaller of Rio's two airports, where breathtaking views of the city's peaked coastline are offered upon takeoff and landing.

TMZ Sports is reporting that the players hung out strictly at the bar, bought some drinks, and immediately left.
