Durant (calf) is expected to be a full participant in practice Thursday for the United States national team, Grant Afseth of EssentiallySports.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

After missing all five of the United States' showcase games earlier this month while recovering from the right calf strain, Durant may not be cleared to play in the team's 2024 Summer Olympics opener Sunday versus Serbia, but his return to full practice suggests he should be ready for game action shortly thereafter. After Sunday's contest, the United States will face South Sudan on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Durant has yet to participate in training camp with Team USA due to a minor calf strain he suffered 10 days before the group got together in Las Vegas. The NBA superstar has already been ruled out for Wednesday's exhibition versus Canada, the first matchup between the teams since Canada beat Team USA in the 2023 FIBA World Cup's bronze medal game. The Americans sported a youthful squad for that tournament and are looking for revenge at the Olympics with a star-studded cast, including Durant, Stephen Curry, LeBron James and Joel Embiid. Following Wednesday's matchup, Team USA travels to Abu Dhabi for exhibitions versus Australia on July 15 and Serbia on July 17.

Durant is dealing with a minor calf strain and has yet to participate in Team USA's training camp, Shams Charania of The Athletic reported Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

The U.S. Olympic team began practicing Saturday with Durant watching from the sidelines as he tends to a minor calf strain. The 35-year-old's absence is considered precautionary, but the issue is still worth monitoring with the Olympic Games just a few weeks away.

Durant supplied 33 points (12-17 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 7-9 FT), nine rebounds, five assists and four blocks over 46 minutes during Sunday's 122-116 loss to the Timberwolves in Game 4 of the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

EDGE Analysis

With the Suns dropping Game 4, they were swept by the Timberwolves and will fall short of their hefty expectations. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Durant had "persistent issues" with the offense and felt as if he was relegated to the corner too often. It will be an interesting offseason for Phoenix, to put it mildly. Durant finished the regular season with averages of 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 1.2 blocks, 0.9 steals and 2.2 three-pointers.
