Some of the players spent a little free time away from the yacht Monday, playing some beach volleyball at Copacabana.

DeMarcus Cousins, Kevin Durant, Paul George, Draymond Green, DeAndre Jordan and Klay Thompson joined in for an intense game of pickup beach volleyball.

Based on the video, it looks like they could use some volleyball practice. More important: There were no injuries ahead of Wednesday's men's basketball quarterfinals against Argentina.
