LeBron James said he has not decided whether he will play for Team USA during the 2016 Olympics in Brazil.

James, 29, has won two gold medals and a bronze in three Olympics with Team USA, and was asked about his intentions for 2016 following reports that Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant has committed to playing.

“I’m nowhere near there,” James said Monday. “I haven’t even thought about it too much. Obviously I know what’s going on and what’s happening. I haven’t decided.”

James, who signed with the Cavs following last season, did not play for Team USA over the summer as he took some time off.
