Kevin Durant will not play against Germany tonight due to his strained calf. He will have missed the entire preseason for Team USA, but the plan is for him to continue onto Paris and play at the Olympics, a source said. He is considered day to day, @TheAthleticNBA – 2:31 PM

Team USA wins the game, but South Sudan coach Royal Ivey (he’s tight with KD) wins the day – 5:16 PM

Tonight’s game was a great warning for Team USA ahead of the Olympics. If they will not have the right approach, they will be in trouble. South Sudan showed a lot of great things. Most importantly, how pivotal both LeBron and… Kevin Durant are for Team USA. #USABMNT #Paris2024 – 5:04 PM

“We understand they have three really good scorers in Bradley Beal, Kevin Durant and (Devin) Booker, but I’m not sure they have the pieces around them that are necessary.” Brendan Haywood.
Then David Roddy for 3.
