The way things are shaping up, it seems as if, while it appeared unlikely before, that Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland could be getting some playing time in the Olympics with Team USA.

Garland was reportedly a standout for the USA Select Team in training/some scrimmaging against Team USA before their first exhibition, and he was one of three players called up to the Olympic squad for exhibition playing time.

The others were wings Keldon Johnson and Saddiq Bey, and Johnson, for one, is a player for San Antonio Spurs head coach Greg Popovich, who is the US head coach.
