Kevin Durant cited physical and mental exhaustion as the reason for withdrawing from Team USA in the FIBA World Cup. Durant, the 2014 MVP, said Paul George’s injury had no affect on him pulling out.
USA Basketball's Jerry Colangelo says Durant told him his departure had nothing to do with Paul George's injury & he just feels "wiped out."

Without George and now Durant, Coach K and Team USA will rely heavily on James Harden, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Derrick Rose.
