Steph Curry is going to be an Olympian for the first time, according to
a report from ESPN.

Curry, 36, will represent the United States at the Paris 2024 Summer
Olympics. As the national team finalizes its roster ahead of the games,
Curry was one of 11 players on the list; one slot is reportedly being
left open for the time being.

Curry will be joined by contemporaries like LeBron James, Kevin Durant
as well as some of the game’s best players — Joel Embiid, Jayson Tatum,
Anthony Davis, Devin Booker and Anthony Edwards. Heat center Bam
Adebayo, Celtics guard Jrue Holiday, and Pacers playmaker Tyrese
Haliburton are also on the roster, per ESPN.

The Olympic games will be a reunion for Curry and Durant, as well as
Steve Kerr — the Warriors head coach who is coaching the Americans.

Curry, the two-time NBA All-Star and four-time champion, has never
competed at the Olympic level. He represented Team USA in international
play during the FIBA World Cup twice.

Team USA has won gold every Olympics since 2008. But they’ll be tested
this summer, as other countries have developed elite talent. Team USA is
in a group with Nikola Jokic’s native Serbia. Team Canada could field a
team with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Jamal Murray, Andrew Wiggins, RJ
Barrett and other NBA players. In 2021 (the Summer 2020 games), USA
barely escaped in the gold medal game against a France team headlined by
Rudy Gobert and Evan Fournier.

Even if the Warriors get eliminated in the play-in round, Curry won’t
have much of an offseason. The Summer Olympics in Paris run from July 26
through Aug. 12.
