The Phoenix Suns suffered their third straight defeat after bowing to the Orlando Magic, 109-99, on Monday.

The Suns, who fell to 9-6, are missing the services of superstar forward Kevin Durant, who's still dealing with a left calf strain. He has sat out their last six games.

Amid his recovery, Durant recently posted on X to promote the online gambling site FanDuel for Week 11 of the NFL. One fan, however, called him out for endorsing betting on games.

"The dude who tells people to stop gambling and get a job promoting FanDuel," commented the fan.

But the 36-year-old Durant, who's known to clap back on social media, didn't take the remark sitting down and blasted the fan.

"No, I tell u to stop complaining about this life that you've committed to," responded the two-time Finals MVP. "When u lose, there’s finger pointing. When u win, there’s gloating about how smart you are about seeing the future.

"No gratitude to the service workers like myself. I’m sick of it."

Durant's multimedia company, Boardroom, inked a deal with FanDuel in 2022.

Some NFL stars, including Lamar Jackson of the Baltimore Ravens and Deebo Samuel of the San Francisco 49ers have voiced out their displeasure with bettors.

Durant is expected to be out of commission for another week before being reevaluated. He's averaging 27.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game this season.
