Team USA: Kawhi Leonard, Damian Lillard, Jimmy Butler and Anthony Edwards in the pre-selection for Paris 2024

The announcement of the pre-selection of Team USA for the next Olympic Games is imminent and Chris Haynes reveals already the identity of nine of the 35-40 names that will appear there.

Among them, we find in particular Kawhi Leonard (Clippers), Damian Lillard (Bucks), Jimmy Butler (Heat), Anthony Edwards (Wolves), Paolo Banchero (Magic), Aaron Gordon (Nuggets), Desmond Bane (Grizzlies), Jarrett Allen (Cavs) and Austin Reaves (Lakers).

A first list that is tempting to say the least, while waiting for the sequel, which should be released shortly. We remember that LeBron James, Kevin Durant but also Stephen Curry are called upon to be the main headliners of Team USA for Paris 2024. We also know that Tyrese Haliburton, present at the World Cup like the Edwards-Reaves-Bancheron trio, wishes to participate.

It should also be remembered that Joel Embiid chose to represent Team USA, and we should find him in this pre-selection.

By this summer, American coach Steve Kerr will then have to reduce his pre-selection of around forty names to just twelve players, who will be responsible for restoring the image of the United States after the new failure of the 2023 World Cup .
