"It's great," Durant said to a room of reporters, including talkSPORT. "It's exciting times. He's at the point in his career where this is probably the last thing he wants to check off on a résumé.
"His energy is very, very high. To be around that is pretty cool."
Curry and Team USA will play two exhibition games at the 02 before heading to France for the 2024 Summer Olympics.
USA head coach Steve Kerr said he's unsure if Durant will play in the exhibition games.

But simply having Durant, a 14-time All-Star, sharing the same court again with Curry is a huge win for NBA fans across the world.
Curry is widely regarded as the greatest shooter of all time and is a two-time NBA MVP.
Durant joined Golden State in 2016, creating a super team that won two NBA championships and extended the Warriors' dynasty.
Durant twice won the NBA Finals MVP with Golden State.

Now, the three-time gold medal winner is again a teammate of Curry, who's attempting to win his first gold medal in Paris.
"It's incredible," Durant said. "Just a great guy to be in a locker room with. A team-first player. I match up well with those types of guys."
