Kevin Durant is SportsCall’s Player of the Week!
The 14-time NBA All-Star put Team USA on his back in the Olympic opener against Serbia on Sunday, coming off the bench to shoot 8-for-9 from the field, including 5-for-5 from the three point line, scoring 23 points in only 17 minutes. He scored 21 of those points on a perfect 8-for-8 shooting first half en route to beating the Serbian team 110-84.
After the game, head coach Steve Kerr said that he initially intended on easing Durant back into the rotation, but his strong play made him stay on the court.
