Tyrese Haliburton's dog is joining in as Team USA celebrates a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in men's basketball.

The official Instagram account for Haliburton's goldendoodle, Ames, shared a photoshoot featuring the Indiana Pacers guard and his Olympic gold medal.

One of the photos features Ames, draped in an American flag, wearing the medal himself.

Ames is named after the city where Haliburton spent two seasons playing college basketball for Iowa State, the Pacers guard told Bally Sports Indiana last May.

Haliburton adopted the dog during his rookie NBA season in 2020-21.
