Dallas Mavericks star Kyrie Irving has expressed interest in representing Australia at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
“We’re in the process (of switching) right now, just trying to figure out the best route for me to be eligible,” Irving said, according to Athlon Sports’ Grant Afseth. “There’s a lot of paperwork involved.”
“Honestly, if I can be an Aussie at one point in my career and play for the Australian team, that would be great,” he added.
Irving has only represented the United States at the international level. He won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics and was named tournament MVP at the 2014 FIBA World Cup after winning another gold.
