Kawhi Leonard completed Team USA's 12-man roster for the upcoming Summer Olympics in Paris.

On Monday, ESPN reported that the United States finalized 11 of the 12 roster spots. Less than 24 hours later, The Athletic reported that the LA Clippers star will complete the team, per sources.

According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski: 'USA Basketball Managing Director Grant Hill met with most of the 12 invitees on the 2024 Olympic team over the past few days, and it wasn’t until today that Team USA officials were able to firm up Kawhi Leonard’s acceptance to join the roster for Paris.'

Leonard will join fellow superstars LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, and Joel Embiid in spearheading the Stars and Stripes.

Guards Jayson Tatum, Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday, Tyrese Haliburton, and Anthony Edwards have also committed to international duty.
