Durant, 36, remains one of the league’s premier scorers, averaging 26.6 points per game this season. However, with the Suns struggles this season in the Western Conference, they could explore trade options to reshape their roster.

While there have been no confirmed trade discussions, insiders suggest that Durant could be intrigued by Houston’s potential. The Rockets, under head coach Ime Udoka, have shown significant progress this season and could benefit from a veteran superstar to accelerate their playoff aspirations.

As the postseason approaches, speculation around Durant’s future will likely intensify, and Houston’s interest only adds intrigue to the developing situation.

Neither the Rockets nor the Suns have publicly commented on the rumors, but the NBA world will be watching closely to see if Houston makes a bold move for the two-time champion.
