Tatum joins the Golden State Warriors superstar Stephen Curry, Joel Embiid, LeBron James, Kevin Durant, and others who show willingness to put Team USA jersey in Paris.

"I want to be playing. It's the one thing I haven't done ... I definitely want to be there. I want to be on the team," Steph said on Monday.

Joining Curry in this commitment is Kevin Durant, who, along with numerous other top players, declared his intention to play for Team USA during NBA media days.

"I will be playing in the Olympics next year," KD stated.

Tim Reynolds of AP reported that Bam Adebayo, DeMar DeRozan, Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, Jaylen Brown, Donovan Mitchell, Khris Middleton, Julius Randle, Zach LaVine, Aaron Gordon, Kyle Kuzma, Zion Williamson, Kawhi Leonard, Fred VanVleet, and Brook Lopez have all indicated their willingness to participate if selected.

Kyrie Irving shared a similar sentiment during Dallas' media day, and Draymond Green has previously expressed his desire for another Olympic opportunity.

Meanwhile, players like Jimmy Butler, Paul George, and Anthony Davis haven't ruled out the possibility.

With 12 roster spots available and more than 12 players expressing interest, LeBron James followed in:

"From the players that we have here, off the top of my head that could fill that roster up, I don't think it would be too much of a physical toll. I wouldn't have to do much. Rebound a little bit, pass a little bit, defend, block some shots, you know? But we'll see. We'll see what happens," LeBron said.

The participation of reigning NBA MVP Joel Embiid remains uncertain, as he has yet to decide whether he will represent Team USA or France in the upcoming Olympics.
