Zum US-Kader für die Sommerspiele zählen demnach allen voran die NBA-Superstars LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns) und Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers).

Der zwölfte Kaderplatz soll den Angaben zufolge offen bleiben bis zu einem Trainingslager im Juli in Las Vegas.

Folgende Spieler gehören dem US-Kader laut Medienberichten an: LeBron James, Antony Davis (beide Los Angeles Lakers), Stephen Curry (Golden State Warriors), Kevin Durant, Devin Booker (beide Phoenix Suns), Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves), Jayson Tatum, Jrue Holiday (beide Boston Celtics) Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat) und Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers).
