Curry, 36, recently completed his franchise-record 15th season with the Warriors, earning his 10th career NBA All-Star nod and posting averages of 26.4 points, 5.1 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 32.7 minutes in 74 games (all starts). Curry led the NBA in 3-point field goals for the eighth time in his career with 357 threes—the third most in a single-season in NBA history, hitting 40.8% from behind-the-arc. He finished second in the league in free throw percentage behind teammate Klay Thompson, hitting 92.3% from the line.
In addition to Curry, the 2024 USA Men’s National Team features Bam Adebayo (Miami Heat), Devin Booker (Phoenix Suns), Anthony Davis (Los Angeles Lakers), Kevin Durant (Phoenix Suns), Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves), Joel Embiid (Philadelphia 76ers), Tyrese Haliburton (Indiana Pacers), Jrue Holiday (Boston Celtics), LeBron James (Lakers), Kawhi Leonard (L.A.

Curry will be the fifth player to represent the Warriors at the Olympics as a member of Team USA, joining Draymond Green (2016, 2020), Klay Thompson (2016), Harrison Barnes (2016) and Chris Mullin (1992).
The 2024 USA Men’s National Team will be led by Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr, alongside assistant coaches Mark Few (Gonzaga University), Tyronn Lue (Clippers) and Erik Spoelstra (Heat).
