On July 23, the USA Men’s Basketball team narrowly defeated Germany in their final pre-Olympic exhibition game. Kevin Durant missed all five of these games.
After the game, Clippers reporter Tomer Azarly spoke out in support of Kawhi Leonard: “I still don’t know the reason why Kawhi was cut by Team USA. It’s said that he was healthy and participated in all four of Team USA’s training sessions this month. Meanwhile, Kevin Durant only started training two weeks after the training camp concluded. Although he has not played in any games, he remains on the roster. To repeat, Kawhi was still participating in competitive training with the team two weeks ago. Both Kawhi himself and Coach Kerr felt good about his progress, and the Clippers were preparing to have him play in the Olympics. This whole situation really doesn’t make sense now.”
