Fresh off of a disappointing loss to the Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, Brooklyn Nets star forward Kevin Durant is expected to commit to the team, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic.
Durant’s addition will obviously be a big boost to the roster, as he’s one of the best pure scorers in basketball history and also one of the most prolific scorers in Olympic history.
This summer, Team USA will be seeking its fourth consecutive gold medal, after taking home the gold in 2008, 2012, and 2016.
Training camp for Team USA is scheduled to begin on July 6 in Las Vegas, with the Olympics set to start on July 23 in Tokyo.
It will be interesting to see who else joins Durant, Booker, Tatum, Beal, Lillard and Green to represent the United States.
