| Likely to miss exhibition Monday The Scoop:Durant was absent from training camp due to his calf injury, and he also missed the USA's exhibition game against Canada on Wednesday. The USA is set to play in two more exhibition games on July 15 against Australia, and July 17 against Serbia, which the All-Star is likely to sit out of. The 35-year-old is coming off his healthiest season in the past four years, during which he averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.2 blocks in 75 regular-season games. Team USA will hope to have Durant back playing alongside Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid for the start of the Paris Olympics on July 28 against Serbia. Jul 13 2:15 ET - | ||||||||
| Expected to play in Paris Olympics Expected to play in Paris Olympics The Scoop: Durant has yet to participate in training camp with Team USA due to a minor calf strain he suffered 10 days before the group got together in Las Vegas. The NBA superstar has already been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition versus Canada, the first matchup between the teams since Canada beat Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup's bronze medal game. The Americans sported a youthful squad for that tournament and are looking for revenge at the Olympics with a star-studded cast, including Durant, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid. Following Wednesday's matchup, Team USA travels to Abu Dhabi for two exhibitions versus Australia on July 15 and Serbia on July 17. Jul 10 5:55 ET |
| Will miss exhibition versus Canada Will miss exhibition versus Canada The Scoop: Durant has sat out four straight practices due to a calf strain he suffered 10 days before the team's training camp. However, coach Steve Kerr said Tuesday that Durant has been working hard on the side to return, and he is expected to be back for game action soon, Kellan Olson of ArizonaSports.com reports. The All-Star could be back as soon as July 15 when the USA takes on Australia for an exhibition game in Abu Dhabi. Jul 9 4:51 ET |
| Has minor calf injury Has minor calf injury The Scoop: The U.S. Olympic team began practicing Saturday with Durant watching from the sidelines as he tends to a minor calf strain. The 35-year-old's absence is considered precautionary, but the issue is still worth monitoring with the Olympic Games just a few weeks away. Jul 7 4:40 ET |
| Plays well in Game 4 loss Durant supplied 33 points (12-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 46 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs. The Scoop: With the Suns dropping Game 4, they were swept by the Timberwolves and will fall short of their hefty expectations. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Durant had "persistent issues" with the offense and felt as if he was relegated to the corner too often. It will be an interesting offseason for Phoenix, to put it mildly. Durant finished the regular season with averages of 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers. Apr 29 3:08 ET |
