Jayson Tatum sends message ahead of 2024 Summer Olympics

Jayson Tatum had a bit of a late start arriving at Team USA camp due to personal reasons. However, he sent a positive message to fans upon his arrival.

While making his entrance into training camp, the recent NBA champion did a brief interview for social media:

"Happy to be here. Ready for the Olympics, ready for camp, ready to be a part of the team. Finally glad to be here."

Playing in international competition is nothing new for Jayson Tatum, as he's been doing it since before he entered the NBA. He won his first gold medal back in 2014, playing in FIBA's under-17 world championship. Tatum won gold again a year later, playing for Team USA's under-19 team.

As far as the Olympics go, this will be his second time donning a Team USA uniform. He was part of the 2020 team in Tokyo that managed to secure a gold medal. Based on the collection of talent on this year's team, he's in a good position to add a fourth medal to his collection.
