James, who will be 43 during the 2028 Games, expressed his intention to follow the event as a spectator. Curry, for his part, although not as blunt as James, suggested that his participation is unlikely.

“If God wills, I will still have the option and the physical ability to impact the team. Never say never, but I doubt it very much. I doubt it very much,” Curry commented.
