Multiple members of the Golden State Warriors will be back on the court in the summer for the Olympic Games in Paris, France. Stephen Curry will headline a stacked Team USA with Steve Kerr on the sideline as head coach in Paris. Andrew Wiggins could potentially be on the court for Team Canada in the Summer as well.

Thompson’s father, Mychal Thompson, was born in the Bahamas. Team Bahamas currently boasts NBA talent with Deandre Ayton, Buddy Hield and Eric Gordon. College prospects V.J. Edgecombe and AJ Storr will also be at training camp for Team Bahamas.
The Bahamas will play against Finland on July 2 and Poland on July 3 to start a six-team Olympic qualifying tournament that also includes Spain, Angola, and Lebanon. The winner of the six-team tournament will punch a ticket to the Olympics in Paris.
