Durant has been unable to play in the exhibition games due to injury.

That said, being able to participate in practice is a good sign that he could return to action in one of the first two games.

Via ESPN's Brian Windhorst: "He's working very, very hard to get back from this calf injury. Playing for the national team is extremely important to him. He's playing in his fourth Olympics."

The photo of Edwards and Durant will likely continue to get a lot of traction on social media due to the popularity of both players.
