During the 2024-25 NBA season with Phoenix, Durant averaged 26.6 points per game to go along with six rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 62 games. He also shot 52.7 percent from the floor and knocked down 43 percent of his three-point attempts.

The Suns have “no leverage” in part because of Durant's age and because he wants to start fresh elsewhere, league sources say. The idea of Durant returning to a team that entertained deals for him before the 2025 trade deadline isn’t a pleasant one.

The San Antonio Spurs are expected to target former Rutgers star Dylan Harper in the 2025 NBA draft even if it means missing out on the chance to acquire 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant.
