Joel Embiid may make his return against Golden State

The list of players who are in the pool reads like a list of NBA All-Stars: Stephen Curry and Chris Paul from Golden State, along with Damian Lillard, Joel Embiid, Kevin Durant, De’Aaron Fox, LeBron James, Kahwi Leonard, Bobby Portis and Jayson Tatum, all are being considered for the roster. Green obviously was disappointed in not being selected but understood the process. “I’ve played in two more Olympics than I thought I would play in, which means I’ve got two gold medals than I ever thought I’d have,” Green said. “I’ll be alright.” -via NBC Sports Bay Area / January 30, 2024
