Kevin Durant said he plans to play in the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.
The legendary NBA winger, four-time Olympic gold medalist and leading scorer for the US men’s national team at the Olympics will be approaching 40 years old when the next Games come around.
Although he added the caveat that he must be an effective player as a condition of his return to the United States national team, Durant informed Team USA general manager Grant Hill of his intentions.
There was a belief that the 20204 Games in Paris were Durant’s last appearance, alongside LeBron James and Stephen Curry.
However, he denied it.
“You, the media, projected that. That narrative, where did that last dance come from? I didn’t say I wasn’t going to play.
LeBron said he won’t play. You didn’t hear that from me or Steph,” Durant says.
This season, he shines in the world’s strongest basketball league with an average of 26.1 points, 5.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists in the Houston Rockets jersey, even though he celebrated his 37th birthday last September.
