Similar Stories to Usa Basketball Eyeing 60 Players In Olympic Pool, Ap Sources Say on Bing News

MIAMI — USA Basketball is casting a wider-than-usual net in its roster selection for this summer’s rescheduled Tokyo Olympics, two people with knowledge of the situation said Saturday. Additions to the list in recent weeks include New Orleans’ Zion Williamson, Atlanta’s Trae Young, Memphis’ Ja Morant, Miami’s Duncan Robinson and Detroit’s Christian Wood. The people told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the final list has not been revealed publicly. The additions mean at least 60 players could be on the player-pool list that will be released by USA Basketball in the coming weeks. Most of those are holdovers from the finalists list that was announced in February 2020 in anticipation of an Olympics last summer. There were 44 players on that list and almost all of them, with the exception of injured Golden State guard Klay Thompson, are expected to remain in the pool this year. ESPN first reported that USA Basketball has sent approximately 60 invitations to be part of the player pool.
