A familiar backcourt will be taking the floor together at the Rio Olympics this summer, but instead of repping Canada's team, they'll be playing for their native United States.

Joining his Toronto Raptors teammate Kyle Lowry, shooting guard DeMar DeRozan has committed to Team USA for the Olympics, sources told The Vertical's Shams Charania.

DeRozan, coming off his second All-Star season in three years, will be making his second straight appearance for the U.S. in international competition, having helped the team capture the gold medal at the FIBA World Cup in 2014.
