“I didn’t really mold my game after him, but it’s crazy. It’s a full circle moment cause Kevin Durant is who I consider the greatest basketball player ever and now I’m on his team. It’s kind of crazy. Life’s crazy.”

Twelve years ago when Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis were Olympic rookies, they got to play with the one they looked up to: Kobe Bryant. With Durant, Anthony Edwards gets that chance this summer, injury permitting @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56328… – 2:02 PM

“Played with some good players throughout my career, but these players are Hall of Fame players and I’m just excited to share the court with those guys and have some good moments and make history.”

USA/Canada thoughts: USA took only 22 3s, 12 FTA. Halfcourt offense was extremely clunky, but Canada has best perimeter defense they’ll face. USA also misses KD a lot in halfcourt offense. If USA is going to play this Bam/AD unit, I like Curry with them more than Hali. – 12:31 AM
Jonathan Feigen @Jonathan_Feigen
USA starting Embiid, Curry, James, Booker and Holiday with Durant out. Plug in KD for Holiday or Booker and this could be the lineup in France. – 10:35 PM

Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
In case you missed it, your starting five for Team USA:
Stephen Curry
Devin Booker
Jrue Holiday
LeBron James
Joel Embiid
(Once Durant gets healthy he subs out one of Booker and Holiday, and other things could shift as well. Tatum and Edwards could get looks.) – 10:32 PM

Grant Hill on Kevin Durant’s availability for Team USA in the Olympics: “Durant will be on the plane. He’s been working and rehabbing. He’s looked great. I think we are just being cautious and conservative. I think we expect to see him on the court when we are in Abu Dhabi.” pic.twitter.com/hMzw8rAxM9 – 10:20 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankin
No Kevin Durant (calf) tonight.
Kawhi Leonard withdraws.
Derrick White replaces Leonard.
Who would you start tonight vs. Canada in Las Vegas.
My 5: Stephen Curry, Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum, LeBron James and Joel Embiid.

USA Basketball forward Kevin Durant (calf) is not playing tonight, is day by day and it’s uncertain if he will play in the two upcoming exhibitions in Abu Dhabi, a source said. But USA Basketball is confident that Durant will be healthy in time to play in the Paris Olympics. – 5:36 PM
