Team USA Dominates Competition Without Kevin Durant: Latest Updates and Schedule

Team USA Basketball Dominates Pre-Olympics Exhibition Games Without Kevin Durant

Team USA’s men’s basketball team has been on a winning streak in the pre-Olympics exhibition showcase, despite star forward Kevin Durant being sidelined with a calf injury. Durant, the team’s all-time leading scorer, has missed several games but is expected to make his return soon.

The red, white, and blue have not let Durant’s absence slow them down, picking up wins against tough opponents like Canada, Australia, and Serbia. Durant’s status for the upcoming game against South Sudan remains uncertain, but he returned to practice on Friday and could make his debut in that game or against Germany on Monday.

Head coach Steve Kerr has already confirmed that Durant will join Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid in the starting lineup upon his return. Other players like Jayson Tatum, Anthony Edwards, Jrue Holiday, and Devin Booker have also been performing well and could fill the final starting spot.

Team USA’s first official Olympic game is scheduled for July 28 against Serbia, giving Durant some time to get back into the groove before the competition heats up. Fans can catch all the action of Team USA’s remaining exhibition games on Fox’s family of networks or stream them online with fuboTV.

The 2024 Olympics opening ceremony is set for July 26, with the men’s basketball tournament kicking off the next day. Team USA is one of 12 teams qualified for the Paris Olympics and will face tough competition in Group C against Serbia, South Sudan, and Puerto Rico.

Stay tuned for updates on Durant’s availability and watch Team USA’s journey to Olympic gold unfold on the court.
