Durant Suiting Up for First Game at Oracle Arena

It may just be an exhibition game, but the crowd at Oracle Arena will almost certainly be rocking as they catch their first peak at Kevin Durant, the newest member of the Golden State Warriors, playing on his new home floor for the first time.

Competing with Team USA, Durant, along with his new teammates' Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, will play against China during a pre-Olympics exhibition game Tuesday night in Oakland.

The Oracle crowd is expected to greet all three players with open arms and plenty of cheers, especially Durant and Green. Both players were smothered by boos Monday night from a pro-Los Angeles Lakers and Clippers crowd at another Team USA exhibition game, as reported by CSN Bay Area.

Durant silenced the haters by leading the Americans with 19 points in a 106-57 blowout win over China.

Team USA will have two more exhibition tuneups after Tuesday night's game before heading south to compete at the Olympic Games, according to USA Basketball.
