Steve Kerr Downplays Kevin Durant’s Calf Injury Ahead of USA Men’s Basketball Team Training

The USA men’s basketball team’s preparations for the Paris Games are well underway, but one key player is causing some concern. Kevin Durant, who has yet to train with the team due to a calf injury, has coach Steve Kerr downplaying the severity of the situation.

Despite Durant’s absence from practice sessions, Kerr remains optimistic about his star player’s recovery. He has not considered any contingency plans to replace Durant on the roster, as they are taking it day by day.

The team, which includes basketball legends like LeBron James and Stephen Curry, is aiming for a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal. They recently defeated Canada in a friendly game and are gearing up for exhibition matches against Australia and Serbia.

Even with Durant sidelined, the team is confident in their abilities, with Joel Embiid stepping up to guard against other big players. LeBron James, the oldest player on the roster, is bringing his veteran experience to the team, aiming for his third Olympic gold medal.

With their star-studded roster and a wealth of experience, Team USA is ready to take on the competition in Paris and defend their title. The road to the Olympics may have some bumps, but the team is focused on bringing home the gold once again.
