One month away from the start of the Tokyo Olympics, Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton has committed to play for USA Basketball.
Middleton's agent, Mike Lindeman, told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski the nine-year veteran is going to join the national team in Japan.
Middleton was originally named to the USA men's basketball roster in 2018 and took part in minicamp with the club that summer.
Team USA included Middleton on the final 12-man roster for the 2019 FIBA World Cup team. He averaged 9.9 points, 4.9 rebounds and 2.4 assists per game in eight appearances. The United States finished seventh in the standings with a 6-2 record.
Middleton was one of 42 players named by USA Basketball as finalists in March for the Olympic team.
A two-time All-Star, Middleton has established himself as one of the best shooters in the NBA. The 29-year-old has averaged 20.6 points on 41.4 percent three-point shooting, 6.1 rebounds and 4.9 assists in 130 regular-season appearances since the start of 2019-20.
Middleton and the Bucks are getting set to host the Atlanta Hawks in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals on Wednesday night.
The Summer Olympics are scheduled to run from July 23 through Aug. 8.
