Kevin Durant is off to team No. 5. The Houston Rockets have agreed to a deal with the Phoenix Suns to acquire the 11-time All-NBA honoree, ESPN reported Sunday.
In return, the Suns will reportedly receive veteran guards Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. They’ll also receive six draft picks, including the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The other five picks are second-round selections.
Durant, who will be 37 at the start of next season, is entering the final season of a four-year, $194.2 million deal.
This season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, six rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, while shooting 52.7/43.0/83.9 in 62 games; he missed time due to ankle and calf injuries. The Suns went 36-46 and missed the playoffs.
Durant spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder, followed by a three-year stint with the Golden State Warriors, with whom Durant won two championships. Durant then signed with the Brooklyn Nets, missing his first season with the team (2019-20) due to a torn Achilles tendon. At the 2023 NBA trade deadline, Durant was traded to the Suns, where he played through the 2024-25 season.
Durant was the 2013-14 NBA MVP and is a two-time NBA Finals MVP.
