"I'll do it," Booker said on whether he will join Team USA next summer.

"If I have the opportunity to play in Paris, that would be amazing," Gordon said.
On the other hand, Paul George remains non-committal about his involvement, stating that his decision depends on the performance of the Los Angeles Clippers during the season, their playoff run, and his overall health.
According to earlier reports from Shams Charania and Joe Vardon, the NBA's all-time leading scorer, LeBron James, will also suit up for the U.S. next summer.
James has engaged in discussions with Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum, and Draymond Green, all of whom are prepared to commit. On a separate note, serious interest in participating has been expressed by Damian Lillard, De'Aaron Fox, and Kyrie Irving.
