AP source: Harden commits to US Olympic men's team for Tokyo

USA Basketball's Olympic men's roster is getting closer to filled, with now as many as eight spots on the 12-person team claimed.

Brooklyn's James Harden has told the national team that is committed to playing U.S. men's national team next month at the Tokyo Games, said a person familiar with the decision. Miami's Bam Adebayo has also informed USA Basketball of his intention to play for the team at the Tokyo Games.

Adebayo's decision was first reported by ESPN, and he confirmed it Monday to The Associated Press. Harden's decision was first reported by The Athletic, then confirmed to AP on condition of anonymity because neither the Nets star nor USA Basketball has publicly announced the move.
