Curry has still never competed at the Olympics, though he did help the U.S. win a pair of gold medals at the FIBA Basketball World Cup in 2010 and 2014.

Team USA will be without several of the NBA's top players in Tokyo. LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler, to name a few, have also chosen not to take part in the Games.

However, some of the top players on the planet do still plan to join Team USA for the Olympics. Kevin Durant, James Harden, Damian Lillard, Bradley Beal, Draymond Green, Devin Booker and Jayson Tatum have all reportedly committed to play in Tokyo, which gives the U.S. another lethal squad going into the tournament.
