Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Kevin Durant said he plans on joining Team USA for the 2016 Olympics after withdrawing from the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.

Durant spoke to ESPN about his future in international competition and said that he would love to play in the Olympics, but he has to see where his body is physically.

"Hopefully I'll be there. It's whoever Mr. [Jerry] Colangelo and Coach K [Team USA coach Mike Krzyzewski] pick," Durant said. ”I would love to have the chance to play in another Olympics.”

When asked why he dropped out of the FIBA World Cup this summer, Durant said he was simply tired and wanted to enjoy his time off before another NBA season.

"I was tired," Durant said. "I just wanted to have some time to just enjoy my summer and continue to work on my game but just enjoy my summer. Coach K and Mr. Colangelo understood and they made this whole thing easy for me."

With LeBron James stating that he is undecided for the 2016 Olympics, Durant could be the featured star of a USA team that would be favored to win the gold medal. Durant also addressed free agency rumors, despite his decision being two summers away.
