At 3:30 AM on August 11, the Olympic men’s basketball final will see Team USA face off against France.
According to a report by renowned NBA journalist Shams, Team USA plans to start Durant in the Olympic men’s basketball final.
According to the report, Durant will replace Holiday. If accurate, this would mark Durant’s first start of these Olympics. This will be the first time James, Durant, and Curry start together, and it may also be the last time they do so in their careers. Although the three were on the Western Conference All-Star team in 2024, Curry came off the bench during the All-Star game.
