Team USA’s second day of practice for the 2016 Rio Olympics saw the stars do a little bit more than day one. Carmelo Anthony, Paul George, Kevin Durant and the group did some light shootaround and some drills with the USA select team members. The young kids started day one with a scrimmage of their own but day two saw both sides converge for a big scrimmage.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski elected to do some six on six games and really muck up the court mixing teams and getting different looks together. The United States squad is prepping for their first exhibition game against Argentina on Friday at the Thomas & Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Check out some footage our partners at Baller Visions captured while in attendance for day two of Team USA’s practices.
