Suns owner dismisses Kevin Durant trade rumor

Recently, rumors surfaced regarding the Houston Rockets’ keen interest in acquiring Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant.

The Rockets’ recent pick swap with the Brooklyn Nets fueled speculation of a potential Durant trade from Phoenix.

However, Suns owner Mat Ishbia swiftly dispelled these rumors on social media during NBA Draft night.

“NBA Draft night is the best. Everyone talking about the drama and storylines, some are right and some are just wrong. My turn. Phoenix loves Kevin Durant and Kevin Durant loves Phoenix, and we are competing for a championship this year because we have the team to do it. Gotta love draft night! Go Suns,” Ishbia tweeted.

Durant still has two years remaining on his hefty four-year, $194 million contract with the Suns.

This past season, the 35-year-old star showcased impressive statistics, averaging 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5 assists per game while playing an average of 37.2 minutes.
