Kevin Durant, the former Golden State Warriors star and two-time NBA champion, is no stranger to making headlines on social media. Known for his active presence on X, Durant frequently engages with fans, shuts down trolls, and addresses swirling rumors. On Friday, the Phoenix Suns forward took to X to set the record straight about a shocking claim regarding his current team’s locker room dynamics.
Responding to a report that alleged “multiple fistfights” broke out in the Suns’ locker room during their tumultuous 2024-25 season, Durant didn’t hold back. “I have to contest this 94-footer,” he tweeted, dismissing the accusation as “some (expletive) to throw on us. Yea yea yea we were trash this year ha ha ha but we NEVER got close to this. NEVER.” The claim originated from Durant’s former teammate, DeMarcus Cousins, and was amplified by NBACentral on X, leaving fans stunned.
The Suns’ 2024-25 campaign was undeniably rough. Despite high expectations following two consecutive lackluster playoff runs, Phoenix stumbled to a 26-26 start, plagued by injuries and inconsistency. The team finished with a disappointing 36-46 record, missing not only the playoffs but also the Play-In Tournament. Durant, in his 18th NBA season, remained a bright spot, efficiently averaging 26.6 points per game. However, the organization’s struggles have fueled speculation about his future.
With the Suns reportedly ready to part ways with the 36-year-old superstar this summer, Durant’s next move is a hot topic. Sources indicate that the Texas native has his sights set on teams like the Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, and Houston Rockets. A return to the Golden State Warriors, where Durant won championships in 2017 and 2018, seems unlikely but not impossible. Warriors GM Mike Dunleavy could still make a late push to bring the former MVP back to the Bay Area, offering Durant a chance to escape Phoenix’s woes.
For now, Durant’s focus remains on clearing his name and addressing the noise surrounding his Suns tenure. His fiery response to the locker room rumors proves that, even in a challenging season, he’s as vocal and passionate as ever.
