With Kevin Durant’s confirmation that he will participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games if he is picked, the men’s basketball competition will get another major star.

Due to his troubled injury history and the fact that he is growing older, many questioned whether or not Durant would make himself available for the Olympics.

Even though Team USA didn’t perform very well at the FIBA World Cup this summer, they’re motivated to redeem themselves in Paris in 2024.

LeBron James has been given the responsibility of leading the team in Paris and assembling the squad.

He has been meeting with league insiders to assemble a team that won’t let the United States be laughed at by its European rivals again.

Throughout his career, Durant has been a mainstay for Team USA at the Olympics, where he has gone on to earn three gold medals (in 2012, 2016, and 2020).

Kevin Durant will be competing in the Olympic Games in Paris.

On Monday, it was reported that Durant would be interested in being recruited by James in preparation for the 2024 Olympics.

According to ESPN’s Malika Andrews, “Kevin Durant says he is playing in the 2024 Paris Olympics.”

In addition to Durant, the American squad that will be touring Europe will feature a number of other well-known athletes.

NBA champions Steph Curry and Kawhi Leonard have both indicated an interest in hearing LeBron James’ speech and maybe joining his Olympic team in Paris.

After being moved to the Suns in the middle of the 2022–2023 NBA season, Durant only played in 47 games.
