LONDON — The Olympic exhibition season is over for Team USA, and Kevin Durant didn’t play. But he’s not going home like Kawhi Leonard, though.
He’s headed to Paris with the hope that he can still help the American team win a fifth consecutive gold medal.
“There’s no thought of replacing Kevin,” USA coach Steve Kerr confirmed after his team beat Germany 92-88 without Durant on Monday.
Durant missed Team USA’s five tune-up games and most of the practices due to a Grade 1 strain of his left calf, suffered while working out before the start of training camp.
