Phoenix Suns superstar forward Kevin Durant and rookie Ryan Dunn both participated in Wednesday’s morning shootaround heading into matchup against Minnesota Timberwolves at Footprint Center to end a three-game homestand.
All-Star Game starter Kevin Durant was not having it with negative Suns fans on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday.
Pierce pitched the Thunder to trade Chet Holmgren for Kevin Durant, which sparked a loud conversation across the media. Former NBA guard Jeff Teague took to the "Club 520 Podcast" to make his strong opinion known of the trade.
The relationship between Kevin Durant and Anthony Edwards is a sign that the NBA's veteran stars are open to mentoring the future faces of the league.
Kevin Durant received his 15th NBA All-Star nod. He is questionable with a thumb injury in the Phoenix Suns' next game vs. the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Still, Hall of Fame NBA player Paul Pierce had an idea for the Thunder -- trade Holmgren for Kevin Durant. The 36-year-old forward is still playing at an MVP-caliber level, and Pierce's reasoning was that Holmgren has hardly played in Oklahoma City's remarkable campaign thus far.
Durant was a GTD for Wednesday's contest due to a left thumb injury, but he's been given the green light to suit up. The 36-year-old forward is averaging 27.1 points, 6.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.3 blocks per game this season.
