Kevin Durant practiced Wednesday, and coach Steve Kerr said there will be a "big collaboration" in determining when the program's all-time leading Olympic scorer will make his debut for Team USA. The team's training staff, Durant's Phoenix Suns and his representation are all involved as they manage the delicate issue of Durant returning from a calf injury and his intense desire to play for his national team. "It's not just our training staff, but [USA Basketball managing director Grant Hill] is constantly in touch with Kevin's people and with the Suns," Kerr said. "This is not going to be like us going out and saying, 'Hey, let's just throw him out there.' This will be a big collaboration." Rich Kleiman, Durant's agent, told ESPN that Durant has been working tirelessly to return to play and he could've played during Team USA's games in London.
 
Durant's return sounds like a high-stakes game of “When can we play him?”—a true team effort! 🏀🎯
