There is robust interest from NBA superstars, including former gold medal winners LeBron James and Anthony Davis, to join USA Basketball for the 2024 Paris Games, with Stephen Curry also pondering an Olympic debut, sources told ESPN on Monday.
Curry has expressed an interest to play for his Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr, sources told ESPN. Several players who were part of the 2021 gold medal-winning team in Tokyo who didn't play this summer, including Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker and two-time gold medalist Draymond Green, are also candidates to return, sources told ESPN.
Kevin Durant has won three Olympic golds and would be a candidate to play again. Team USA has done some recruiting of Joel Embiid, who holds both United States and French citizenship, but the Philadelphia 76ers star has thus far been noncommittal in his plans.
Health obviously will play a large role in how the team comes together. James, Davis and Embiid have all battled various injures at the end of recent seasons.
