Team USA is putting together a star-studded roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics men’s basketball team, which includes some of the generation’s most iconic players. Some of the players included on the roster are LeBron James of the Lakers, Stephen Curry of the Warriors, Kevin Durant of the Suns, and Joel Embiid of the 76ers.
According to sources, Grant Hill, the managing director of Team USA, is leaving one roster slot open before the July training camp and exhibition games in Las Vegas. The team is expected to announce the complete 11-man roster soon, which will also feature players like Anthony Davis of the Lakers, Devin Booker of the Suns, and Jayson Tatum of the Celtics.
The team will be coached by Steve Kerr, who will have the opportunity to coach Curry for the first time in the Olympics. Kerr will also be coaching Durant, who has won three men’s basketball Olympic gold medals, tying him with Carmelo Anthony for the most ever. This will be James’ fourth Olympic appearance, having previously won bronze in 2004 and gold in 2008 and 2012.
Two players from the non-medalist 2023 FIBA World Cup team, Haliburton and Edwards, have been selected to represent Team USA at the Olympics alongside some of the biggest names in the NBA.
