Klay Thompson will join Bahamian national basketball team for training camp
As a decision on his NBA future looms, Klay Thompson will join the Bahamian national basketball team for its training camp in Houston this week, sources briefed on the situation told The Athletic. However, he is not expected to get clearance and compete for the Bahamas in the Olympic qualifier this summer, those sources said. Thompson, who won a gold medal with Team USA in 2016, would need to receive an official release from USA Basketball and approval from FIBA in order to be cleared to play in the Olympic qualifiers and further competition for Team Bahamas, which isn’t expected to happen.

Klay Thompson and the Magic remain mutually interested heading towards free agency, per @ShamsCharania (nytimes.com/athletic/55698…).
Orlando signing Thompson away from the Warriors for an offer they’re unable to match is a very serious possibility. pic.twitter.com/bdLLV6pVRO – 2:25 PM
