Nets star business partner\u00a0Rich Kleiman floated the idea of Durant playing in this summer&#8217;s Olympics earlier this week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My feeling on that is that I would want Kevin to be absolutely ready to go, working out, playing 5-on-5, that his organization and he both feel like it&#8217;s time to play. I wouldn&#8217;t want to be any part of him being 60% or 70% and just starting to get in shape because of the Olympics. The Olympics are important, it&#8217;s huge, but he&#8217;s got a career to take care of here with the Nets. I would rather have him do that if he&#8217;s not totally ready to play this summer,&#8221; said Popovich.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nets forward could make his return on the Olympic stage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92,103,91],"tags":[2210,1501,7172],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-138472","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba","category-olympic-games","category-usa","tag-gregg-popovich-2","tag-kevin-durant","tag-tokyo-2020-2"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
