Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton will begin training camp for Team USA ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics this weekend. He's hopeful to win.
That's because he's about to start playing with USA Basketball ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympics. Haliburton is on the 12-man roster, and he's confident that he is healthy enough to play in the event. The Pacers will have a performance staff member with Haliburton while he's with the squad to maximize his health.
Haliburton expects to get some smack talk from Tatum and Holiday, who knocked him out of the postseason. But he's still excited to be on the squad and represent the next generation of USA Basketball. "I just expect them to be who they are. Two of the greatest players to ever touch a basketball," the Pacers guard said of James and Stephen Curry. "I'm excited to be around them, pick their brains.
In tournaments like this, Indiana's star came to realize that all it takes is one hot shooting game from an opponent to lose. Team USA can't afford that in Paris for the Olympics. They need to be at their best every night, or they could get beat. Team USA had a few close calls in the 2021 games, including a loss during Group Play to France.
Most importantly, Haliburton will do whatever it takes to win. He doesn't want to go home without a medal this time — he wants to continue the United States typical tradition of taking home the gold in the Olympics. It's almost an expectation, something the Iowa State product noted.
