Follow usTeam USA has traveled halfway across the world but is still in a holding pattern with superstar Kevin Durant, who didn’t practice again today with a calf problem and most certainly won’t be on the court when his teammates play against Australia in a friendly at the beginning of the next week.
Manager Steve Kerr has been publicly downplaying any concern about the problem but admitted that Kevin would need more time than first expected to be at 100%.
“It’s in my knowledge that I still have several weeks before we have to announce the final roster for the Olympics,” Kerr claimed. “That’s why we’re just taking it daily.”
Team USA planned that if Kawhi Leonard couldn’t be on the court in Paris, Derrick White would replace him. But if Steve Kerr has someone on his mind to replace Durant if he isn’t healthy enough to play at the Olympics, it is unclear because the head coach doesn’t want to reveal, as he believes Kevin will play.
