CNN —Draymond Green was left off Team USA’s provisional 41-man list for this summer’s Olympic Games due to the suspensions he’s received this season, USA Basketball executive director Grant Hill said Wednesday. Green was reinstated in the first week of January after serving a 12-game suspension. “But I think just in lieu of sort of what’s transpired this year, we made a decision to not have [Green] on this list with this particular point in time with the process. According to the NBA, Green had meetings with a counselor and has also on multiple occasions met with representatives from the league, the Warriors and the Players Association, and he will continue to do so throughout the season. Green is a two-time Olympic gold medalist, finishing atop the podium with Team USA at Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020.

But it was Green's recent history — two suspensions for on-court conduct this season — that Hill and USA Basketball couldn't ignore. Political Cartoons View All 253 ImagesGreen is one of four current NBA players with more than one Olympic gold medal. There are a slew of players in line to potentially make their first Olympic team, including reigning MVP Joel Embiid and four-time NBA champion Stephen Curry. All 41 players on the current list have expressed interest in playing; 24 have been All-Stars, with a combined 131 selections. That means, at minimum, 12 past All-Stars won't graduate from the pool to the actual Olympic team this summer.

“It is a privilege to select the team that will help us toward the goal of once again standing atop the Olympic podium. If he plays and the U.S. wins, Durant would be the first men’s player with four basketball golds. “I will play in the Olympics,” Durant adamantly said last fall at Phoenix’s media day. The other 28 players on the list are headlined by a pair who may make their Olympic debuts — Embiid and Curry among them. Players not in the pool aren’t exactly ineligible to make the Olympic team; while it is a long shot, it has happened before.
