Kawhi Leonard plans to play for Popovich's USA at Tokyo Games
Coronavirus forced the 2020 Games to be postponed, with the Olympics now due to be held in Tokyo from July 23 to August 8 this year.
Despite a potentially congested schedule, with the Clippers contenders in the Western Conference and the NBA season set to finish on July 22 if the Finals go the distance, Leonard is ready to play for Team USA.
"My plan is to go," Leonard said on Sunday, ahead of the All-Star Game in Atlanta.
Gregg Popovich's Team USA are set to play their first game against France on July 25.
"If I feel up to it and feel ready to go around that time, then I'm going to play," Leonard said.
Leonard added: "A lot of people were in for 2020, but just the pandemic pretty much killed everything."
Team USA won the Gold Medal in 2016, defeating Serbia at the Rio De Janeiro Games almost five years ago in Brazil.
