Kevin Durant News: Good to go Wednesday.

After five games without a win, the Phoenix Suns made a statement with a 127-120 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The win marked the return of Kevin Durant, who had been sidelined due to an injury that caused him to miss seven consecutive games.

His presence on the court was felt immediately, as the Suns looked to bounce back with their star player leading the charge, and looking ahead for the next match against the Brooklyn Nets in the NBA regular season.

Durant’s right-hand man, Rich Kleinman, was as instrumental as any party in revisiting an the earlier trade request and bringing the said trade to the finish line between Brooklyn and Phoenix.

Durant, Irving, and Harden arrived with championship expectations, but left with a whimper.

Now with Durant facing his former squad, it seems as though the surefire Hall of Famer is buttering up his former franchise.

Should Durant come back and finish the championship quest he started in Brooklyn later on in his career, he can perhaps be considered a Net for life.

Until then, Durant’s words hold no water in Nets World.

Kevin Durant played 129 regular season games with the Brooklyn Nets.

When the going got tough, the weak got going. Durant initially requested a trade during the summer of 2022 only to rescind that request and watch his compadre Kyrie Irving leave ahead of the 2023 trade deadline.
