Boston Celtics star Jayson Tatum joins the list of NBA superstars who intend to play for Team USA in the upcoming 2024 Paris Olympics.

Jared Weiss from The Athletic reports that Tatum publicly confirmed his interest in playing for Team USA, meaning he would represent his country for the second time after winning the gold medal in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Tatum would join the already stacked Team USA, as LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Devin Booker, Bam Adebayo, and others are also expected to commit for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Last season, Tatum averaged 30.1 points, 8.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game in 74 appearances for the Celtics.
