· New York Post

This year’s Olympic basketball tournament is set to be a star-studded affair with a number of NBA all-stars and champions playing for their respective countries. Of course, this includes a Team USA roster made up entirely of NBA players.

The roster is headlined by Team USA flagbearer LeBron James, returning to Team USA olympic action for the first time in 12 years; he previously played on the 2004 bronze medal team and the teams in 2008 and 2012 that took home gold.

He’s joined by a roster of 12 that includes three-time Olympic gold medalist and USA’s all-time Olympic statistical leader in total points Kevin Durant,three members of the reigning NBA champion Boston Celtics, and NBA all-star Stephen Curry who makes his first appearance on an Olympic court this year.

It’s possible, though, that the team will start their Olympics without two star players; Joel Embiid and Anthony Davis have both missed practices over the past few days due to illnesss, but coach Steve Kerr is confident they’ll both be in the lineup.
