Reports from ESPN and The Athletic reveal that USA Basketball is finalizing its roster for the upcoming Paris Olympics, with Stephen Curry set to make his Olympic debut. Led by managing director Grant Hill, the team has filled 11 of the 12 roster spots, leaving one position open for selection after a July training camp.
Joining Curry on the roster are NBA stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, and Devin Booker. James, making his first Olympic appearance since 2012, adds his experience to the team, marking his fourth Olympic outing.
Other confirmed team members include Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday, Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo, and Tyrese Haliburton. These players represent a diverse array of NBA teams, showcasing the depth and talent within USA Basketball.
Curry’s absence from previous Olympic teams is notable, having missed out on selection in 2012 and withdrawing from consideration in 2016 due to injuries. Now, with his unparalleled shooting prowess and established legacy, Curry is poised to make his mark on the Olympic stage.
The coaching staff for Team USA is led by Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, supported by assistant coaches Tyronn Lue, Erik Spoelstra, and Mark Few. With a blend of NBA expertise and strategic acumen, the coaching staff aims to guide the team to success in Paris.
