Jrue Holiday Set to Lead Team USA at 2024 Paris Olympics
The Boston Celtics’ Jrue Holiday has solidified his spot in Team USA’s roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania and Joe Vardon. With his recent commitment, Holiday is expected to bring his gold medal-winning performance from the Tokyo Olympics to the global stage once again.
Future Medal Hopefuls: Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and More
Alongside Holiday, other “locks” for the 2024 Team USA roster include Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Phoenix Suns’ Kevin Durant, Philadelphia 76ers’ Joel Embiid, Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James, and Celtics’ Jayson Tatum (assuming players are healthy and able to participate). This leaves six roster spots up for grabs.
A Star-Studded Pool of Players
With a pool of 41 players to choose from, USA Basketball has no shortage of talented American stars vying for a spot on the final roster. Some notable players include Devin Booker (Suns), Anthony Davis (Lakers), Bam Adebayo (Heat), and Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers), among others.
Holiday’s Impact on Team USA
Despite having no prior international experience, Holiday’s overall skill and prowess make him an ideal fit for Team USA. As an All-Star player with the Bucks last season, he continues to make a significant impact on the court, both offensively and defensively. His smart off-ball play and versatility on defense make him an essential asset alongside other superstars. Stay tuned as Team USA shapes its final roster for the 2024 Olympics.
