Heat to go after Kevin Durant again?

NBA Central: Dan Le Batard thinks Pat Riley will go after Kevin Durant again “Pat Riley doesn’t have any reason in the world to still be working at his age approaching 80. He’s not going to wait around for another young team…” (🎥 @LeBatardShow ) pic.twitter.com/0DO8chmU4J

Team USA handles Serbia 105-79 in Olympics exhibition; Durant misses third game (w/videos) #Suns #TeamUSA #Paris2024 azcentral.com/story/sports/n… via @azcentral – 3:12 PM

USA cruises past Serbia 105-79 to conclude their two-game trip in Abu Dhabi.
Steph was special, second unit is starting to click. KD still has not played due to calf strain.
Three of five exhibition games complete. Two more coming in London, v South Sudan and Germany. – 2:00 PM
Bobby Manning @RealBobManning
They’re doing all this and still might get Durant back… – 1:59 PM
Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
The starting lineup for Team USA in the upcoming Olympics should be…
Curry
Edwards
LeBron
Durant (if he’s not healthy, Davis)
Adebayo
This line-up has size, length, and a clear defensive anchor. #USABMMT #Paris20241:06 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Team USA up on Serbia, 59-45, at the half thanks to a 16-2 run anchored by Bam Adebayo and Anthony Davis. Team USA has international size at the 4 and 5. And once KD gets back, they’ll have another bucket. – 1:01 PM
Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Team USA needs KD back — but Bron bullying his way to the rack was a welcome sight. – 12:36 PM
Brian Windhorst @WindhorstESPN
USA vs. Serbia in Abu Dhabi tipping off. There’s 10 MVP Awards represented in the starting lineups (and Kevin Durant would’ve made 11 but he’s out). – 12:06 PM

Duane Rankin: “We didn’t put our team together for a one year try. We put our team together because we love those three guys.” Mat Ishbia on Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal on @NBATV in Vegas. “1st year, we didn’t to where we wanted to be. 2nd year, we’re going to see.” #Suns pic.twitter.com/rQbw57gaAN -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / July 17, 2024
Evan Sidery: Suns owner Mat Ishbia said on @BurnsAndGambo the Suns will operate in the second apron over the next two seasons, but will work to exit it in 2026. Phoenix officially has a two-year window with their three-star model of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. pic.twitter.com/a2ot6xsnap -via Twitter @esidery / July 17, 2024
The Serbian national team couldn’t have Bogdan Bogdanovic on board, as the Atlanta Hawks shooting guard was ruled out just like it happened against Australia. The same applied to Kevin Durant, whose status for the upcoming Olympics is still unclear due to a calf injury. -via EuroHoops.net / July 17, 2024
