Anthony Davis will play for Team USA in 2024 Olympics if asked

Months from now, the Summer Olympics will take place in Paris, and USA Basketball will try to avenge a disappointing showing in last year’s FIBA World Cup in which it failed to win a medal.

Right after that tournament ended, a number of NBA stars and superstars made it known they wanted to play for Team USA this summer. It led to some calling this summer’s Team USA squad the “Avengers” for its attempt to regain the gold medal in international basketball competition.

Anthony Davis of the Los Angeles Lakers said if he is asked to do so, he will play for Team USA this summer.
