The USA men’s basketball team just wrapped up their first day of training camp at UNLV in Las Vegas.
Phoenix Suns stars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant are both part of the 12-man roster heading to the 2024 Paris Olympics later this month.
“Good bump. High intensity,” Booker said after practice in a video posted by the NBA. “I’m just inspired by a lot of these guys. Day one, we already (got) to scrimmaging. That’s all I can ask for.”
GREAT Day 1 for #USABMNT!
