Team USA will feature some familiar faces at the upcoming Paris Olympics.

USA Basketball is finalizing its roster for the Summer Games featuring LeBron James, Stephen Curry and Joel Embiid, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports. The roster will also include Kevin Durant, Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Tyrese Haliburton, Anthony Edwards, Jrue Holiday, Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis, per the report.

The team may elect to initially keep one spot open, per the report.

Tatum, Durant, Booker and Adebayo return from the team that won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. James was not on that team. He returns to the Olympics for the first time since Team USA won gold in London 2012. This will be James’ fourth Olympic Games. He also won gold with Team USA in 2008 and bronze in 2004, the last time USA didn’t claim a gold medal.
