Report: Suns’ Kevin Durant ‘Has No Desire’ To Play With Timberwolves

Durant turns 37 in September. He averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds and 4.2 assists for the Suns this season in 62 games while shooting 52.7% from the field, 43.0% from beyond the arc and 83.9% from the free-throw line.

A top 75 player of all time, Durant has career averages of 27.2 points, 7.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets and Suns.

Durant won the 2014 MVP Award with the Thunder and back-to-back titles and Finals MVPs with the Warriors in 2017 and 2018. 

KD, who is a four-time scoring champion, has been swept in the first round of the playoffs twice since leaving the Warriors in 2019. He hasn’t reached the conference finals since departing Golden State. 

The eighth leading scorer in NBA history, Durant doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract, so he can’t control where the Suns trade him. 

The Timberwolves made the conference finals this year for the second season in a row. Anthony Edwards and Co. lost to the Thunder in five games. 

According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Timberwolves didn’t offer Jaden McDaniels to the Suns for Durant, who is Edwards’ favorite player of all time. 

Durant wants to play for the Houston Rockets, Miami Heat or San Antonio Spurs.
