Kevin Durant made his debut for his new team on Wednesday night, returning from injury in order to play in the Suns' 105-91 win over the Hornets. Durant piled in 23 points across 27 minutes, but didn’t deny that he was feeling the nerves before taking the court with his new teammates.
While speaking to the media after the game, Durant admitted that he felt some pressure to prove himself on the court.
“New environment, new situation, new teammates,” he said. “I always feel I got to prove myself to my teammates and my coaches every day, no matter what I've done in the league. So, I feel like it’s pressure on me to be who I am, every day,” said Durant to reporters.
