Jimmer Fredette Decides to Resume Playing Career, Leaves USA Basketball 3×3 Post
Fredette will return to competition this weekend in Phoenix after 18 months leading the men’s 3x3 program, USA Basketball said.
- On Tuesday, Jimmer Fredette announced he is stepping down as managing director of USA Basketball's men's 3x3 program to return to professional play this weekend at the FIBA 3x3 Phoenix Challenger.
- Fredette, who retired in April 2025, said the desire to play began creeping back over the last few months; after discussing his return with his wife, Whitney, he decided to pursue the opportunity.
- Fredette last represented the United States at the 2024 Paris Olympics, where the team finished 2-5 after he suffered an adductor injury; he acknowledged "a little bit of a feeling of unfinished business."
- USA Basketball officials supported his decision, and the federation will not immediately replace his managing director role, instead tasking the 3x3 National Team Committee with identifying coaching staffs and players through 2028.
- As the host nation, the United States is already qualified for the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, and while those Games are in Fredette's plans, he remains focused on upcoming tournament performance.
