Stephen Curry: Kawhi Leonard wanted to play
Michael Scotto: Steph Curry on Kawhi Leonard withdrawing from Team USA before the Olympics: “I know he wanted to play… Hopefully, for the long term, he’s in a good place because the game needs him. When he’s not out there, you miss an all-time great player. We hope he’s ready for this season.” pic.twitter.com/0M3S5UfLtD

USA/Canada thoughts: USA took only 22 3s, 12 FTA. Halfcourt offense was extremely clunky, but Canada has best perimeter defense they’ll face. USA also misses KD a lot in halfcourt offense. If USA is going to play this Bam/AD unit, I like Curry with them more than Hali. – 12:31 AM

In a statement, USAB says Kawhi Leonard “felt ready to compete.
“However, he respects that USA Basketball and the Clippers determined it’s in his best interest to spend the remainder of the summer preparing for the upcoming season rather than participating in the Olympic Games” – 10:50 AM

More on this storyline
Michael Scotto: Grant Hill on Jaylen Brown not replacing Kawhi Leonard: “For a good portion of my career, I wore FILA. That was supposed to be a joke. We’re proud of our partners at USA Basketball. This is about putting together a team… Whatever theories might be out there, they’re just that.” -via x.com / July 11, 2024
After the Team USA win against Canada, Curry emphasized that Leonard wanted to play. “Kawhi gave it everything he had when he was preparing in these last three days of camp,” Curry said. “There was a mutual conversation between USAB leadership and Kawhi’s team just to make sure he’s set up for success.” -via BasketNews / July 11, 2024
Dwight Howard: No comment on Kawhi but it wasn’t no way to get the guy who just went to finals on that team? -via Twitter @DwightHoward / July 10, 2024
ClutchPoints: “Ant Edwards!” Steph Curry did his best Anthony Edwards impression during Team USA’s practice 😅 (via @NBA) pic.twitter.com/4RqeOD66yS -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 10, 2024
Vice President Kamala Harris was a surprise guest at the U.S. Olympic men’s basketball team’s practice Tuesday, and her message was clear. “Bring back the gold,” Harris said. Harris — who flew to Las Vegas on Tuesday for campaign appearances — addressed the team briefly at the end of its fourth and final training camp practice session. She has long said that she’s a Golden State Warriors fan; the U.S. team is coached by the Warriors’ Steve Kerr and includes Warriors guard Stephen Curry. -via NBA.com / July 10, 2024
