    Warriors' Gui Santos: Playing for Brazil

    Santos is on the Brazilian national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Santos made 23 appearances for the Warriors in 2023-24, averaging 3.6 points and 2.1 rebounds in 8.3 minutes and will now shift his offseason focus to the Olympics. With Santos being the only player for Brazil currently on an NBA roster, he will likely be one of the team's focal points in Paris.

    Magic's Moritz Wagner: Suiting up for Germany

    Wagner is on the German national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Wagner is coming off a strong 2023-24 campaign for the Magic in which he averaged 10.9 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 17.7 minutes across 80 regular-season appearances. For Germany, Wagner should be one of the team's primary options in the frontcourt alongside Daniel Theis.

  • Rudy Gobert C | MIN

    Timberwolves' Rudy Gobert: Defensive stalwart for France

    Gobert is on the French national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    After tying an NBA record for the most career Defensive Player of the Year awards by achieving his fourth in 2023-24, Gobert is now set to play for France in the Olympics. Alongside Victor Wembanyama, Gobert's elite rim protection should make it a nightmare for any opposing team looking to score inside.

  • Santi Aldama PF | MEM

    Grizzlies' Santi Aldama: Star man for Spain

    Aldama is on the Spanish national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Aldama was Spain's focal point during their Olympic-qualifying run, averaging 17.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, 1.8 blocks and 1.5 assists in 26.5 minutes across four contests. With the 23-year-old being the only player on the roster currently signed to an NBA team, he will likely be at the heart of any success Spain achieves in Paris.

  • Pelicans' Jose Alvarado: Set to play for Puerto Rico

    Alvarado is included on Puerto Rico's roster for the Paris Olympics.

    Alvarado is slated to remain in New Orleans for a fourth consecutive year during the 2024-25 NBA season, but he'll first play for the Puerto Rican national team in the Olympics. Over 56 regular-season appearances with the Pelicans last year, he averaged 7.1 points, 2.3 rebounds and 2.1 assists in 18.4 minutes per game.

  • Thunder's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Starring for Canada

    Gilgeous-Alexander is on the Canadian national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    After coming in second for the KIA NBA Most Valuable Player for 2023-24, Gilgeous-Alexander is set to focus his offseason efforts on the Olympics. In a team littered with NBA talent, Canada has expectations to compete for a medal in Paris. Even alongside players like Jamal Murray, RJ Barrett, Luguentz Dort and Andrew Nembhard, Gilgeous-Alexander should operate as the squad's go-to scorer.

  • Josh Giddey PG | CHI

    Bulls' Josh Giddey: Suiting up for Australia

    Giddey is on the Australian national team's roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics.

    Giddey was dealt to the Bulls in June but will focus his offseason efforts on playing in the Olympics for Australia. The 21-year-old guard is set to be one of the team's focal points on offense, even while playing alongside veterans like Patty Mills, Joe Ingles and Dante Exum.

    Suns' Kevin Durant: Practices for Team USA

    Durant (calf) is expected to be a full participant in practice Thursday for the United States national team, Grant Afseth of EssentiallySports.com reports.

    After missing all five of the United States' showcase games earlier this month while recovering from the right calf strain, Durant may not be cleared to play in the team's 2024 Summer Olympics opener Sunday versus Serbia, but his return to full practice suggests he should be ready for game action shortly thereafter. After Sunday's contest, the United States will face South Sudan on Wednesday.
