After the agreement of Damian Lillard and Draymond Green, it is a third potential holder for Gregg Popovich and Team USA. Yahoo! Sports indeed teaches us that Jayson Tatum has given his agreement for the Olympic Games.
The Celtics winger had announced there is little to think about it because since 2019, he has not known a summer without a cut. Two years ago, he had notably played in the World Cup in China, but his competition was cut short (only two matches played) because of a sprained left ankle. And we know that last year, the Boston All-Star was in the “bubble” to finish the 2019/20 season.
It is a reinforcement of weight for the US selection since Jayson Tatum comes out of the best season of his career, with in particular a point to 50 units against Brooklyn in the playoffs, in front of an admiring Kevin Durant.
