Two Suns Make Reported Team USA Olympic Roster
Devin Booker and Kevin Durant will be booking their tickets to Paris.
PHOENIX -- As expected, two Phoenix Suns stars are reportedly included in Team USA's 2024 Olympic basketball roster.
From NBA insider Shams Charania:
"Sources: Team USA is finalizing 11 of its 12-man Olympic roster:
LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, Anthony Davis, Anthony Edwards, Bam Adebayo and Tyrese Haliburton."
Team USA is reportedly keeping one roster spot for the time being.
This news comes just months after both stars were listed in Team USA's official pool of 41 players back in January.
Former Suns who made the pool but didn't quite make the cut (at least yet, barring the final roster spot) include Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson and Chris Paul.
Both Durant and Booker committed to playing for the red, white and blue during Media Day ahead of the 2023-24 season.
Suns guard Bradley Beal previously expressed interested but was not chosen.
USA has brought home gold the last seven-of-eight Olympics in men's basketball. They have medaled in all 19 Olympic Games dating back to 1936.
Booker/Durant led the Suns to a 49-33 record this regular season and will face the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round of postseason action, which begins April 20.
