Australian Opals Olympic team revealed: WNBA talent headlines squad, Lauren Jackson makes fifth Olympic Games

The Australian Opals have announced their squad for the 2024 Paris Olympics, with a host of elite WNBA talent set to have the team firmly in the medal hunt.

After a disappointing Tokyo Olympics saw the Opals eliminated in the quarterfinals, the team bounced back in a big way in the 2022 FIBA World Cup, claiming Bronze after missing the Gold Medal match by just two points.

Two years on, and Australia are hoping their momentum can continue, led by previous WNBA All Star Ezi Magbegor, and Opals icon Lauren Jackson back for a fifth appearance.

The 2024 Paris Olympic Opals feature one of the most elite collections of WNBA talent to pull on the green and gold.
