Kevin Durant's first practice in Tokyo ahead of Olympics Reigning champions USA Basketball Men's National Team trained in Tokyo for the first time ahead of the start of their Olympic campaign on Wednesday. USA Men's is the most successful basketball team in international competition and are joined by France, Iran and Czech Republic in Group A, where they will target a fourth-consecutive, and 16th overall, gold at the Games. Team USA face France on Sunday, however their preparations have been affected by players on the roster withdrawing - Bradley Beal (health and safety protocols) and Kevin Love (injury) - or arriving late. Zach LaVine is set to join the team in Tokyo on Thursday, while Devin Booker, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton will not be arriving until later in the week due to their involvement in the NBA Finals. "It is true that they won't be as ready to play in the sense of execution that we might want, but that is understandable", said head coach Gregg Popovich when asked what this means for his preparations.
