WASHINGTON, DC – USA Basketball Chairman and National Team Managing Director Jerry Colangelo announced today that Wizards guard Bradley Beal was selected as one of the 12 members of the U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball Team. The player selections were approved by the USA Basketball Board of Directors.
“To be selected to the United States Olympic team is an honor and a blessing,” said Beal. “Representing my country on the world’s biggest stage alongside so many of the league’s best players is a privilege that both humbles and inspires me.”
