Kevin Durant is rehabbing in preparation for his first season with the Brooklyn Nets after undergoing surgery on his ruptured achilles on July 13.
There is no guarantee the 10-time NBA All-Star steps on the hardwood this season after his third and final season with the Golden State Warriors ended with the injury taking Durant out of the NBA Finals.
A Raptors NBA Championship celebration parade and wild NBA Free Agency period later, Durant is a part of the Eastern Conference for the first time in his career. But this week, the 30-year-old is reflecting on his relationship with the team he played eight seasons with.
In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Durant described his welcome back to Oklahoma City as a visiting player as toxic.
“I’ll never be attached to that city again because of that,” Durant said in WSJ. Magazine. “I eventually wanted to come back to that city and be part of that community and organization, but I don’t trust nobody there. That s— must have been fake, what they was doing. The organization, the GM, I ain’t talked to none of those people, even had a nice exchange with those people, since I left.”
