How Olympics postponement affects the Warriors

The decision to postpone the Olympics a year has consequences for several Warriors.

Amid the coronavirus outbreak, the International Olympic Committee and other organizers agreed Tuesday to postpone the Tokyo Games until 2021. The inevitable decision affects athletes across many sports, including those Warriors who planned to play for the U.S. this summer and head coach Steve Kerr, who was set to be a part of Gregg Popovich’s men’s USA Basketball staff.

Meanwhile, both Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson had been open about their desire to play for the U.S. this summer. Curry, who missed four months with a broken left hand this season, has never played in the Olympics, though he has won two gold medals for Team USA during the 2010 and 2014 World Cups.
