Draymond Green Excluded from Team USA's 2024 Olympics List Due to Suspensions

Despite Past Olympic Success, Green's Recent Behavior Leads to Exclusion from Provisional List

Draymond Green has been left out of Team USA's provisional 41-man list for the 2024 Summer Olympics due to his suspensions this season, according to USA Basketball executive director Grant Hill.
Green was suspended for five games by the NBA for placing Minnesota Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert in a chokehold during a November match, and then indefinitely by the league in December for striking Phoenix Suns’ big man Jusuf Nurkić in the face.
Green was reinstated in the first week of January after serving a 12-game suspension.
Despite being a two-time Olympic gold medalist, Green's recent behavior led to the decision to exclude him from the player pool for the Paris Olympics.
USA Basketball's final 12-man roster for the Paris Olympics will be announced later this year.
