Kevin Durant is back on the court with Team USA, but is questionable to play this week. When Durant returns, LeBron James says the gold medal favorite is ‘even more powerful.’ Story w/ @ShamsCharania, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56470… – 9:31 AM

Kevin Durant came back to practice with USA Basketball in London, where in 2012 he experienced “the turning point” of his career 🇺🇸
He also praised South Sudan’s inspirational story, Nigel Hayes-Davis belonging to the NBA, and reuniting with Steph Curry: eurohoops.net/en/olympic-gam… – 9:21 AM

Kevin Durant is ‘on the right track’ toward a return to Team USA. What other changes are on the horizon for this London portion of the Americans’ pre-Olympic tour, and what do the numbers say about how players are performing? @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56449… – 11:02 AM

There are more changes coming for Team USA, from the scenery, to the weather, to…Kevin Durant? Inside the Abu Dhabi swing of the Americans’ pre-Olympic tour, @TheAthleticNBA nytimes.com/athletic/56449… – 9:42 AM

“We didn’t put our team together for a one year try. We put our team together because we love those three guys.”

USA cruises past Serbia 105-79 to conclude their two-game trip in Abu Dhabi.
Steph was special, second unit is starting to click. KD still has not played due to calf strain.
Three of five exhibition games complete. Two more coming in London, v South Sudan and Germany. – 2:00 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
The starting lineup for Team USA in the upcoming Olympics should be…
Curry
Edwards
LeBron
Durant (if he’s not healthy, Davis)
Adebayo
This line-up has size, length, and a clear defensive anchor. #USABMMT#Paris2024 – 1:06 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Team USA up on Serbia, 59-45, at the half thanks to a 16-2 run anchored by Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis. Team USA has international size at the 4 and 5. And once KD gets back, they’ll have another bucket. – 1:01 PM
Brian Windhorst @WindhorstESPN
USA vs. Serbia in Abu Dhabi tipping off. There’s 10 MVP Awards represented in the starting lineups (and Kevin Durant would’ve made 11 but he’s out). – 12:06 PM

Team USA predictions that Kevin Durant would practice in Abu Dhabi fell through, but he’s on the court for early work tonight — a positive step as he tries to return from a calf injury for his fourth Olympics, @TheAthleticNBA pic.twitter.com/hdVvl15bes – 10:30 AM
Kevin Durant was able to practice with Team USA for the first time Friday as he recovers from a right calf injury with coach Steve Kerr hoping he can get into one of the team’s last two tune-up games before the Paris Olympics. Durant was only questionable for Saturday night’s game at O2 Arena against South Sudan as team officials want to monitor how he recovers. But it was an important sign of progress in getting Team USA’s all-time leading Olympic scorer back after he’d missed all activities over the last two weeks. “I would love for him to play in a game, but we have to take it day by day,” Kerr said. “We’ll see where he is tomorrow.” -via ESPN / July 19, 2024
