Although he has only joined the Phoenix Suns for less than a year, superstar scorer Kevin Durant is facing rumors of discord within his new team. However, the 35-year-old superstar still shines with 16 assists. The Phoenix Suns finished in 3rd place after an impressive victory against the Houston Rockets, with a score of 129-113. In this game, Kevin Durant also recorded his first triple-double of the season (the 18th of his career), with 27 points, 10 rebounds, and 16 assists, helping the Suns secure a remarkable win over their opponents.
Speaking after the game, Kevin Durant stated, “Recently, we have gone through a lot of difficulties. That is the real feeling in the NBA. When playing, everyone wants to win, so I’m very happy that my teammates achieved this victory.”
As someone unafraid to confront the noise from social media about his supposed “discontent” with the new team, Kevin Durant addressed the misinformation: “It’s strange that there are people who can lie and set up false narratives, then attach my name to them. Why is it that no one mentions the positive words from the coach or my teammates at the Phoenix Suns about me?”
Some experts believe that the club has built a trio of Durant, Booker, and Bradley Beal. Unfortunately, both Booker and Beal have faced injuries, making it difficult for Kevin Durant to showcase his value. The fatigue he feels is simply part of the team’s poor performance streak, so having some doubts is understandable. However, with a convincing victory against the Houston Rockets, along with 16 assists and 27 points, Kevin Durant has quelled the doubts about his “enthusiasm” at the Suns.
