USA basketball team for 2024 Olympics: All NBA players who expressed interest in joining 16x champion squad

Team USA didn’t have their best outing in the recent 2023 FIBA World Cup, as they couldn’t win a medal after being defeated by Team Canada in the tournament. For next year’s international bout, stars have emerged as early candidates to join the next Redeem Team.

In 2024, the best basketball players from each country will head towards Paris for the Summer Olympics. The Americans have a chance to reclaim the title of the “Best Basketball Country” next year if they do an excellent job in selecting the rightful players for the tournament.

Here’s a list of players reportedly interested in representing the United States of America next year.

Kevin Durant, Bam Adebayo, DeMar DeRozan, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, Khris Middleton, Julius Randle, Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Fred VanVleet, Brook Lopez, Kyrie Irving, Draymond Green, Zion Williamson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Kyle Kuzma.

Most players on the list have proven themselves to be stars in the NBA. Although there hasn’t been any formal announcement on how the screening process will take place, there’s a chance that most players on the list could be included in the final cut of players.

Additionally, Steph Curry has hinted that he is interested in joining the national team next summer. The Golden State Warriors star also almost slipped about talking to LeBron James about joining the national team together.
