Kevin Durant leads U.S. Olympic men’s basketball roster for Tokyo

Kevin Durant headlines the U.S. men’s basketball roster for Tokyo, which includes three returning Olympians, announced Monday.

Durant, a two-time gold medalist, is joined by 2012 Olympic teammate Kevin Love and 2016 Olympic teammate Draymond Green.

The other nine are Olympic rookies: Bam Adebayo, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Jerami Grant, Jrue Holiday, Zach LaVine, Damian Lillard, Khris Middleton and Jayson Tatum.

The team is, not surprisingly, low on Olympic experience. It lacks most NBA superstars, in part due to the NBA season starting and finishing later than usual (currently in the conference finals).
