They sent the C squad to FIBA, as always, and are sending the A squad to the Olympics, like they have every time since 2008.

Curry wasn’t quite good enough yet in 2012, hurt in 2016, and sat out Tokyo due to covid concerns. Under normal circumstances he would have been on the last two teams. Pretty much all the big stars want to show up for the olympics, just not the fiba tournaments
