Steve Kerr expects all 12 players selected by the United States for their 2024 Olympic team to report and be able to participate when training camp begins in Las Vegas next week.
"We've been in communication constantly," Kerr said on a conference call with reporters. "So we expect all 12 guys to be ready to roll."
Kawhi Leonard and Tyrese Haliburton are both expected to participate despite their injuries during the playoffs. Leonard missed the final three games of the Los Angeles Clippers' playoff run after his surgically repaired right knee didn't respond how they hoped it would. Haliburton battled a hamstring injury throughout the season and missed the final games of the Indiana Pacers' season in the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.
"... Obviously every roster spot is important," Kerr said. "You just never know how these things are gonna play out, with injuries, things can happen, you just don't know. So we're in touch with everybody, and we will continue to stay in touch with the whole group as we head into Vegas next week. And you never know how things play out. There's always a chance for change.
"So I'd leave everything out there as a possibility, based on injuries, based on preparation, whatever it is. But at this point, we fully expect all 12 guys to be ready to go."
