Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Jul 7, 2024 8:57 pm

Kevin Durant missed the opening two days of Team USA's training camp in Las Vegas with a calf strain, sources told Shams Charania and Joe Vardon of The Athletic.


The injury is not considered serious, though Durant might miss Wednesday's exhibition game against Canada.


Team USA open their Olympic campaign on July 28 versus Serbia.

I feel like it would be chill to not make the old dudes do Olympic duty. Make it a 32 and under thing.

Indeed they do. However, because snakes only possess a single calf muscle, then there is no need to specify whether it be on the right side or the left. And, more pertinently in this case, whether the calf in question is related to a previous Achilles injury. Since a snake only possesses a single calf muscle, it therefore follows they would only have a single Achilles tendon. In brief, because Mr. Durant has been diagnosed with a calf strain, then we should doubtless be worried.

Nobody’s “making them” do it. They’re choosing to do it on their own. Lot of these old heads will only do it if it’s at some fancy tourist destination.

For example, Curry and LeBron didn’t wanna do it in 2021 but there was no way in hell they were gonna miss the one in France.
