The two sentences that use an apostrophe correctly in a plural possessive noun are:

  1. The basketball players’ lockers will be cleaned out on Friday.
  2. The United States’ national anthem is “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

(Note: While "The United States'" may appear singular, it refers to a collection of states, making it technically a plural possessive in this context).
