In this story:

The Charlotte Hornets are likely to have some several players representing their countries at this summers Olympic Games in Paris. With the Olympics under two months away, national provisional squads are being announced and it's good news so far for Charlotte.

Scroll down to see which Hornets have been selected.

Vasilijie Micic and Aleksej Pouksevski Selected for Serbia

Davis Bertans Selected for Latvia

JT Thor Selected for South Sudan

As these are only provisional squads, there is chance one or more could be cut. However, considering all of Charlotte's players have NBA pedigree, the chances of that appear unlikely.
