Kevin Durant is not ready to rule out another Olympic game, but the four-time gold medalist makes it clear that he only has one way to return with Team America in 2028.

“Yes, if I’m still me,” Durant said in CNBC’s 2025 game plan.

The 36-year-old striker said it was straightforward that he had no interest in the legacy look or symbolic lineup.

“I don’t want the gift of veterans’ to sit at the end of the bench.’ But we’ll see it.

By July 2028, Durant will be 39 years old when the game tips in Los Angeles.

While his focus is still on ending the strong in the NBA, Durant also opened the door for life after the game.

“Some days, sometimes I won't,” he said when asked about future coaches. “It’s very difficult.

Since LeBron James and Stephen Curry are unlikely to be part of the U.S. team in 2028, Durant may end up being the oldest player on the roster.

At the 2024 Olympics, KD averaged only more than 22 minutes per game, scoring 13.8 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.3 assists, helping the United States win its fifth consecutive gold medal.

Within an incredible 12 years, he also became the first male basketball player to have four Olympic golds on his resume.

He is also the leader in men or women in Olympic basketball, with a total of 518 points.

Last season, he scored 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists under the Suns before being traded to the Houston Rockets this summer.
