The 2024 Paris Olympics will be here before you know it, with Team USA reportedly putting together a ferociously talented 12-man roster to compete in the games.
However, only picking 12 American NBA stars means some big names will inevitably get left out, and we’ve tallied five players we’re kind of surprised won’t be representing the country in Paris this summer, at least not right now.
While injuries and other circumstances can always change how this roster could look once the actual games get started, these five guys have to be on the waiting list should something happen.
Let’s take a look at who these five talents are and hope we see them included if the roster changes up at any point before July.
