It has been quite the summer for Jrue Holiday. The former UCLA Bruins guard helped the Boston Celtics win the 2024 NBA title. Now, he is ready to head to Paris to help Team USA win the Gold Medal in 2024.
Holiday was a key member of the Celtics, with several double-double performances in the postseason. Now, he will head back to the Olympics and join names such as LeBron James, Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.
Steve Kerr is the head coach of the squad. The first scrimmage game is on July 10th against Canada. They will also play in Abu Dhabi on July 15th and 17th.
Here is some footage from one of the first scrimmages Team USA had in Vegas:
