Kevin Durant was in peak form in his 2024 Paris Olympics debut.
The 35-year-old forward had missed all five of Team USA's exhibition matches due to injury but returned to the floor on Sunday, July 28. It was the team's first group stage game, battling against Nikola Jokic and Serbia.
Durant scored a game-high 23 points in a 110-84 win against Serbia. He was perfect from the field in the first half, scoring 21 points at the break. His second half was much quieter as the United States pulled away with the victory.
The two-time NBA champion has never scored 20-plus points on perfect shooting in a half in his NBA career.
