Kevin Durant: “I *will* play in the Olympics next year.”
Durant won gold with the U.S. at the 2012, 2016 and 2020 Olympics and also at the 2010 FIBA World Cup. He is also the leading men’s scorer for Team USA in Olympic history.
Durant was not on the U.S. roster for the 2023 FIBA World Cup. He was not the only major star absent from the team and it showed, with the U.S. finishing shy of a medal in fourth place.
LeBron James and Stephen Curry are among the other stars to have also shown interest in suiting up for the U.S. in Paris, per Shams Charania and Joe Vardon of The Athletic. With Durant in the fold as well, the Americans figure to look like a formidable force once again.
The U.S. is currently ranked No. 1 in the world by FIBA, with Spain and 2023 World Cup champions Germany ranking No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
While other countries are closing the gap on the U.S, the Americans still look like the team to beat as they aim for a fifth consecutive Olympic gold medal.
