According to a recent report by ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, USA Basketball is “aggressively pursuing” Holiday for the Paris Olympics. The 33-year-old player still hasn’t made up his mind, but the overall sentiment is that he is leaning towards saying “yes”.

Holiday last played on the international stage in 2021 at the Tokyo Olympics. He helped Team USA win a gold medal, being lauded for his defense and leadership. He also averaged 11.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 3.8 assists per game.

USA Basketball is determined to put together a strong roster for the 2024 Olympic Games after a disappointing out at the FIBA 2023 World Cup. Team USA failed to win a medal at the tournament, losing to champions Germany in the semi-finals and then to Canada in the third-place match.

Besides Embiid, and potentially Holiday, Team USA’s roster in Paris is expected to feature a number of other big names. The likes of LeBron James, Antony Davis, and Stephen Curry are reportedly ready to commit, while the list could also include Damian Lillard, Jayson Tatum, and Kevin Durant.

A two-time NBA champion with the Miami Heat, Cole proved to be USA’s standout performer on the night with a game-high score of 20 points. “Moments like that, everybody dreams about,” Cole said of his buzzer-beating basket. “I work hard at my individual game along with the team game, I was able to show my individual talent within the team concept and it worked out.”

Following Cole on Team USA’s points leaderboard for the game was Jeremy Pargo with 15 points, Zylan Cheatham with 11 points, and Stephen Zimmerman with 10 points. Tremont Waters and Ethan Thompson were Puerto Rico’s top performers, scoring 16 points each.

Team USA will face Argentina in the semifinal on Saturday, with both the gold medal and bronze medal games happening on Sunday. The other semifinal will see Canada face the winner of the quarterfinal clash between Brazil and the Dominican Republic.

The Americans were leading 48-21 at halftime when officials stepped in to assess the deteriorating situation caused by the leakage. After assessing the extent of the water damage, officials determined that the game could not be resumed safely.

Instead, the game will resume on Tuesday, meaning that Team USA now faces a packed schedule whereby they are set to play on three consecutive days as they look to grab a quarterfinal spot.

Having lost to Mexico in their opening AmeriCup game, Team USA will be desperate to bounce back with a win over Venezuela in an effort to avoid early elimination from the tournament. Currently, the USA is sitting at the foot of the Group C table and is yet to play Panama. If the USA maintains its lead over Venezuela, a win against Panama would seal a semifinal berth.

Group leaders Mexico defeated Panama 65-60 in their clash on Sunday, thereby securing Mexico’s spot in the knockout rounds.

According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, Tatum was diagnosed with a sprained ankle, which he picked up in Tuesday night’s overtime win against Turkey. He is expected to be re-evaluated on Monday.

Tatum has been productive for Team USA at World Cup so far, as he averages 10.5 points, 7.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game. He has been especially on a great display against Turkey when he managed to score free throws which forced the overtime.

Team USA recorded two wins so far in the tournament, which means they already advanced to the second round. They will face Japan on Thursday in the last game of the group stage, after which they are scheduled to play their second-round match on Saturday.

If everything turns out well, and Tatum recovers in time, he will be available for the Team USA’s third-round match. The game will be eliminatory and is set to take place on Monday night.
