his past season, Team USA decided not to add reigning NBA Finals MVP Jaylen Brown to their Olympic campaign.
Prior to the tournament, Brown voiced his frustration over not being chosen to represent his country in Paris this summer. Celtics teammate Derrick White was chosen to fill the final roster spot., Team USA director Grant Hill is willing to add Brown to Team USA for the 2028 Olympics. "I've tried to do this the right way... I called Jaylen Brown... I'm confident he and I will sit down at some point and talk about it... He'll be a candidate if he wants in '28 ."
In 2028, Brown will be 31 years old and entering the final year of his current five year, $304 million deal. Aside from LeBron James, most of Team USA’s current roster will likely be top candidates in four years.Eric Jay Santos covers the Boston Celtics for Sports Illustrated Media Group.
