Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday to play for Team USA in Tokyo Olympics
It could be a special summer for Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday.
The Milwaukee stars are a huge part of the Bucks push into the Eastern Conference Finals this week as the team looks for its first NBA title since 1971. But the duo could double up on championships as they will both be a part of the U.S. Olympic team for the games in Tokyo.
According to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, Middleton and Holiday have committed to play for Team USA.
