Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving took the court on Sunday, this time playing for opposite teams following their departures from the Nets at the NBA trade deadline. Now with the Suns and Mavericks, respectively, Brooklyn’s former superstar tandem is focused on the next chapters of their careers.
Durant indicated as much when asked about how it felt to play against Irving, who, just one month ago, was his teammate on the Nets. KD didn’t play up the matchup, however, indicating that there were no added emotions involved when playing against Irving.
“No emotions at all. It’s another game,” said Durant to reporters. “Most of my career I played against Kyrie. He was on my team for the last couple years, but majority of my career I played against him, so I know how that feels.”
