Suns’ Kevin Durant on Duke’s Cooper Flagg at USA Basketball camp: “He looks like a hell of a player. … He’s 17 years old coming in here playing like a vet almost. No emotion. Just going out there and doing his job. That’s a good sign.” pic.twitter.com/IupKki3c8T – 4:49 PM

Kevin Durant said he hurt his calf about 10 days before camp and is taking it day by day. Said he hopes to play in the Abu Dhabi portion of the trip, which is the next leg of it. – 4:42 PM

Michael Scotto: I asked Kevin Durant for his impressions of potential No. 1 pick Cooper Flagg. He replied, “He looked like a hell of a player. He’s somebody that’s only going to get better with more experience. He’s 17 years old coming in here playing like he’s a vet almost. No emotion.” pic.twitter.com/Q1FOn0aT55 -via Twitter @MikeAScotto / July 9, 2024
ClutchPoints: “Playing alongside [Kevin Durant]… I want to see the Olympic KD. I’ve been watching on TV. When he makes all the shots in the Olympics. It’s time for me to see. I want to watch it from the bench now.” — Anthony Edwards 🗣️ (via @YahooSports) pic.twitter.com/X6gcpKQVs9 -via Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / July 9, 2024
With the expectation that this will be her last games, Durant is clear: “I’ve got to go see that,” he said. “I was talking to a gymnast the other day and I didn’t know their peak is from like 15 to like 18 or 19 or something like that,” Durant said. “So, for her to be at that age and still elite, of course, yeah, I want to go check her out. I’ve always been a fan of what she was doing. Introduced me to that sport, really. I wasn’t really paying attention much until she started doing her thing. … Simone is somebody who set the tone for what a champion, an Olympian, a winner in life should be.” -via ESPN / July 8, 2024
