Kevin Durant Joins New Warrior Teammates For First Time Tonight In Oakland

OAKLAND, CA - The U.S. men's national basketball team is playing an exhibition game this evening at Oracle Arena in Oakland, where Golden State Warriors fans will get to see new Warriors star Kevin Durant play alongside two other Golden State players for the first time.

The national team takes on China in a game scheduled for 7 p.m., with doors opening to the arena 90 minutes prior.

Durant, Warriors stars Klay Thompson and Draymond Green and former Warrior Harrison Barnes are among the members of the team, which is preparing for a trip next month to the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Durant, a former National Basketball Association Most Valuable Player award-winner, signed with Golden State this offseason after his Oklahoma City Thunder were eliminated by the Warriors in the Western Conference Finals.

The Warriors, led by two-time MVP Stephen Curry, fell just short of back-to-back championships in June when the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated them in Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Curry opted not to participate on the national team as he recovers from a knee injury suffered in the playoffs.
