The 2020 Olympics will feature three-on-three basketball for the first time. There are some who believe five-on-five basketball could be phased out by the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

FIBA has attempted to grow the popularity of the Basketball World Cup, but the Olympics remains the most relevant international competition.

‘There are rumors, from people who hold high positions in European and world basketball, that the 2028 Olympics will not see (five-on-five) basketball anymore, and will be replaced by three-on-three,″ said Rolandas Skaisgirys of the Lithuanian 3×3 Association on the BasketNews.It podcast.
