Charania also announces that Brooklyn Nets defender James Harden, who initially agreed to help his national team, will not play in the Olympics. The NBA star suffered a thigh injury in the Eastern Conference semifinals and treating the injury will likely take some time.

Despite Harden’s defeat, the United States team is full of stars. Players such as Kevin Durant, Damian Lillard, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum will travel to Tokyo.

The US team will aim to win Olympic gold for the fourth time in a row and recover from the fiasco of the 2019 China World Cup, when the quarter-final barrier was not crossed.

Team USA Twelve:

Kevin Durant (Brooklyn Nets),
Damianas Lillardas (Portlando „Trail Blazers“),
Bradley Beal (Washington Wizards),
Jayson Tatumas (Boston Celtics),
Devinas Bookeris (Finikso “Suns”),
Zach LaVine (Chicago Bulls),
Kevin Love (Cleveland Cavaliers),
Bamas Adebayo (Miami Heat),
Draymondas Greenas (Ouklendo “Golden State Warriors”),
Jrue Holiday (Milvokio “Bucks”),
Khrisas Middletonas (Milvokio „Bucks“),
Jerami Grant (Detroit Pistons).
