After weeks of reports, USA Basketball has officially confirmed its 12-man roster for next month's upcoming Olympic tournament.

Here's who will be leading the United States' charge for a fourth straight Olympic gold medal:

POS PLAYER TEAM
G Bradley Beal Wizards
G Devin Booker Suns
G Jrue Holiday Bucks
G Zach LaVine Bulls
G Damian Lillard Trail Blazers
F Kevin Durant Nets
F Jerami Grant Pistons
F Draymond Green Warriors
F Kevin Love Cavaliers
F Khris Middleton Bucks
F Jayson Tatum Celtics
F/C Bam Adebayo Heat

Kevin Durant helped Team USA win gold at both the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Games. Kevin Love appeared on the 2012 roster while Draymond Green played in 2016. Everyone else will be making their Olympic debut.

Khris Middleton and Jayson Tatum are the only holdovers from the ill-fated squad that placed seventh at the 2019 FIBA World Cup.

Head coach Gregg Popovich's assistants include Golden State Warriors bench boss Steve Kerr, Villanova's Jay Wright, and Lloyd Pierce - most recently of the Atlanta Hawks.

The senior men's team will hold training camp in Las Vegas from July 6-18 before heading to Tokyo, where the Olympic tournament will tip off on July 25.
