Kevin Durant says he takes ‘pride’ in being an ‘alumni’ of the Thunder after seeing them win a championship.
“I have a sense of pride, man, like I really, really am grateful to be an alumni of the Thunder.”

So basically Durant wants to play and has spent the last five days doing everything possible to do so, but the Rockets are holding him out. So much for the "he quit on the team" narrative
Shams Charania@ShamsCharania
Houston's Kevin Durant is expected to miss Game 4 against the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell ESPN. Durant has a bone bruise in his sprained ankle, which would sideline him 2 to 3 weeks in season. He's had around-the-clock treatment to play but has not been cleared by doctors.

Those saying Kevin Durant “quit on his team in the middle of the playoffs” are clueless.
KD played in 78 of 82 games this season… at 37-years-old.
He suffered an unlucky knee injury in practice and missed Game 1.
He played through injury, and suffered ANOTHER unlucky injury to his ankle in Game 2, which he played through.
This injury usually sidelines players 2+ weeks… KD is going through around-the-clock treatment. That’s why he’s not on the bench.
The Rockets aren’t as good without KD. That’s why they’re down 3-0.
Don’t buy into online narratives. KD just had bad luck, and is still the main reason the Rockets were a top 5 seed this season in the first place.

People gon ignore this they already telling the story they wanna tell lol
Michael Shapiro@mshap2
Ime Udoka says Kevin Durant would have been around “50 percent” had he tried to take the floor in Game 4. Udoka noted “limited mobility,” for KD. More from Udoka on Durant’s work to get back, disappointment in not playing ⬇️ “Playing the minutes that he did and the competitor that he is and the commitment that he's made to the team with a lot of guys being in and out this year, it's unfortunate for us and him that he's missing this time of year.” “It's hard, no doubt for a guy that wants to play and play as much as he does, to be out for this season is very tough.”

I can’t believe we’re at the place where we’re questioning the guy who came back in the finals on the road with an injury and tore his Achilles
What an app lol
Jackson Gatlin@JTGatlin
So Kevin Durant was "receiving treatment" for the entire three hour game after being a game time decision earlier? Horrible look. He might have already quit on the Rockets.

The last time Ben Simmons looked capable of scoring 10 points in an NBA game was when he played with KD
Yuta, Ed Sumner played the best hoop of their careers playing next to KD.
KD has his flaws but don't ever believe surface-level platitudes like this
Kevin O'Connor@KevinOConnor
Kevin Durant was right about what he said on that burner. The Rockets have a deeply flawed roster. But what was absent in those leaked DMs was any commentary about himself. We see the disparity in this series. LeBron James has always made his teammates better. Durant never has.

CJ McCollum on Jonathan Kuminga: “He has championship DNA coming from the Warriors. The athleticism is off the charts. He’s got a mid-range. He knows how to post up, screen, and defensively, he can guard 1-5. He was in a not so great situation and now he's found a happy home.”

KAT and Randle probably the most even trade ever. Zero sum game, no impact for either ball club

Bruce Brown was screaming in Ants face after ripping him, Jamal Murray was high-fiving fans in players faces, THJ was shimmying on the ground after his three, Braun was throwing up 3pt signs at MIN bench
That didn’t work now Minnesota belittling they opponent 😂😂

I didn’t think Durant would catch that much heat last night from anyone watching the game but I was mistaken
The guy came back from a knee injury limiting movement and was forced to create the entire offense for his team every possession
Turnovers are inevitable
Jackson Gatlin@JTGatlin
Crazy how Kevin Durant spends every single possession getting blitzed by double-teams, but LeBron James gets to milk the clock and drive one-on-one with no help defense whatsoever.

It’s really annoying how so many people who cover the Denver Nuggets think basketball is some moral duel, good vs. evil, and that the squad they root for is more righteous.
And yes, there is a coded / dog-whistle element to it.
