Argentina stalwart Manu Ginobili, previously thought to have played his final international game, made himself available to play at a fourth Olympics this summer, according to the country’s basketball federation.
Ginobili, 38, missed the 2013 FIBA Americas, 2014 FIBA World Cup and 2015 FIBA Americas and reportedly said in 2014, “I can say for almost certain, 98 percent, that I won’t play any more [for Argentina].”
The San Antonio Spurs All-Star led Argentina to gold at the Athens 2004 Games. That’s the only team other than the U.S. to win men’s basketball gold since 1988.
