LeBron James is ready to lead a roster full of stars in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The list is impressive with names like Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Joel Embiid, Anthony Davis, Jayson Tatum or Anthony Edwards.

One of those key pieces trying to win a gold medal in France was Kawhi Leonard. However, the problems with his right knee, which left him out of the playoffs, became a big factor for head coach Steve Kerr.

As a consequence, Leonard is out of the squad and will be replaced by Derrick White who had an amazing championship run with the Boston Celtics. it’s important to remember that Team USA will share group in Paris with Serbia, South Sudan and Puerto Rico.
