Why is Boston’s Jaylen Brown not on the US Olympic team?

Fans of the Boston Celtics who saw that it would be Derrick White replacing Kawhi Leonard for the US National Team in the 2024 Paris Olympics, by and large, got why the folks running Team USA might pick the Colorado native as the Los Angeles Clippers star’s injury replacement.

But more than a few fans (and perhaps the man himself as well, based on some cryptic social media posts made around when White’s elevation broke) began to wonder why it was that even after an injury, the 2024 NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Jaylen Brown remained on the outside of Team USA’s Olympic roster.

The hosts of the CLNS Media “The Big Three NBA” podcast, A. Sherrod Blakely, Gary Washburn, and Kwani Lunis, took a closer look on a recent episode. Check it out below!
