After bowing out of this year's FIBA Basketball World Cup, Kevin Durant has reportedly signed up with excitement to rejoin the national team at the 2016 Olympics.
Durant will reveal his intention to travel to Brazil in a piece that will air on ESPN's Sportscenter later on this week, according to Marc Stein.
In an earlier interview with USA Today, Durant was reportedly quoted as saying "I've got to do it. Got to. Brazil, too? Whew."
Durant was a key member of the 2012 men's basketball team that won gold at the summer olympics in London.
