Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has committed to joining Team USA for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Booker has never represented the U.S. at a major international competition, but he was a member of the USA Select Team that trained with the Olympic squad ahead of the 2016 Games.
The two-time All-Star was among USA Basketball's 57 finalists for the 2020 Tokyo Games.
Bradley Beal, Jayson Tatum, Damian Lillard, and Draymond Green have reportedly committed as well.
Booker has shined in his first NBA postseason, averaging 27.9 points on 48.7% shooting to go along with 6.8 boards and 4.8 assists per contest.
