The Tokyo Olympics may not feature the same level of NBA star power we've grown accustomed to.
There appears to be diminishing confidence about elite NBA stars - both American and international players - participating in next summer's Olympics, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.
The United States is among the teams that would be most impacted by elite NBA players not participating in Tokyo.
USA Basketball announced 44 finalists for the Olympic men's team in February. It's unclear which players from that group would remain in consideration for 2021.
The rescheduled Tokyo Olympics are currently set to run from July 23 to Aug. 8 next summer.
