USA Basketball will reach out to 35-40 players by the end of January as they build a roster for this summer's Paris Olympics, sources told Joe Vardon of The Athletic.

Team USA has yet to send out any formal invites for its 12-player roster.

Invites will include players from the 2023 World Cup team that finished in fourth place.

Having a larger pool of finalists to choose from allows more players to stay engaged throughout the season. 

The list is expected to be announced in the coming days or weeks.
