Kevin Durant was cleared to play in Sunday’s game against Serbia after sitting out all of Team USA training camp with a calf injury, and it would be an understatement to say the two-time NBA Finals MVP looked just fine.

Durant came off the bench for Team USA in the first half and immediately caught fire. He scored 14 points on 5/5 shooting in his first 7 minutes of action, including 4/4 from three-point range. Durant then took a rest and continued to cook when he re-entered the game. He finished 7/7 overall and 5/5 from three-point range with 19 points in the first half.

The incredible half led to some even better memes:

Needless to say, Durant was showing no ill effects from the calf injury.

A report earlier in the week claimed Durant was in danger of missing the game against Serbia, and K.D. seemed unhappy about the information circulating . In hindsight, that may have been because he was good to go and considered it to be nonsense.
