NBA Makes Kevin Durant Announcement Amid Offseason Uncertainty

Because of their struggles, the Suns are expected to make some major changes in the offseason, which could include them moving on from both Durant and Beal.

While Durant has been in his fair share of mock trades and trade rumors, the NBA made a major announcement regarding the future Hall of Fame forward on Wednesday.

The NBA announced that Durant has been named the winner of the 2024-25 Magic Johnson Award.

Of course, this award recognizes the NBA player who best combined excellence on the court with cooperation in working with the media and is presented by the Professional Basketball Writers Association.

This is an incredible achievement for Durant as he continued to be a leader on and off the court for the Suns this season despite their struggles along with cooperating with the media around the league.

Durant was able to put together another incredible season in Phoenix and with him now likely on the move this offseason, he becomes one of the top targets on the trade market.

There should be many teams interested in Durant this summer not only due to his high-level of play despite nearing the end of his playing career, but also due to his leadership in the locker room.

Of course, the main teams that have reportedly shown interest in Durant include the Houston Rockets, Minnesota Timberwolves and Miami Heat, but he should garner a ton of interest this summer.
