Boston Celtics All-Star forward Jayson Tatum has committed to play for the team, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports, as has Washington Wizards star guard Bradley Beal, per Shams Charania of The Athletic.

This summer will serve as the first Olympic experience for Booker, Beal, Tatum and Lillard.
