Kevin Durant Addresses Relationship With Kyrie Irving

When Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving joined the Nets in June 2019, the duo envisioned winning multiple NBA championships together.

Add in Brooklyn’s acquisition of James Harden during the 2020-21 season, and Brooklyn’s NBA title hopes seemed legitimate, if not likely. Instead, between injuries and off-court issues, the trio only played 17 games together. Durant and Irving played in only 74 games together with the Nets.

Now, as Irving gets acclimated to the Mavericks organization, and Durant awaits his debut with the Suns, the two-time NBA champion says he’s not mad about Irving’s decision to ask the Nets to trade him.
