LeBron James has already determined if he'll participate in the 2028 Olympics.

Team USA was fortunate enough to have James on its roster for the 2024 Paris Olympics. He along with Steph Curry and Kevin Durant led the country to a gold medal victory over France. They combined for 53 points in the championship game.

Even though James performed at a very high level, fans assumed the 2024 Olympics were his farewell tour for international competition. Well, they were right.

During the latest episode of the "Mind the Game" podcast, James addressed his status for the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles. The three-time Olympic gold medalist confirmed he won't be suiting up for Team USA.

"You already know my answer," James said. "I will be watching it."

What about Steph Curry?

As of right now, Curry doesn't plan on competing in the 2028 Olympics. However, he won't slam the door shut on that possibility.

"God willing, I still have the choice and physical option where I could impact the team," Curry said. "Never say never, but I highly doubt it. Highly doubt it."

Curry will be 40 when the 2028 Olympics begin. It'd be foolish for Team USA to rely on him at that stage in his career.

That being said, Team USA will need a few of the NBA's brightest stars to really step up in Los Angeles.
