“I think we’re at the peak of basketball, in my opinion,” 15-time All-Star and two-time NBA Finals MVP Kevin Durant told The Athletic. “I feel like the game is always going to evolve into something different. There’s going to be players that change the mindset of how to win a basketball game. Now, you see, I think the bigs are starting to come back around, where the most dominant bigs are the guys that you want to run an offense through and play off of. I just think the game is always evolving, and if you complain about it too much then you’re not going to see the beauty of what’s going on. “Obviously, nothing’s perfect, and there’s going to be complaints from different sides, with people wanting to see it in different ways. But for the most part, you’re seeing the growth. You’re seeing the players get better. You see it through, what, the last six champions have been different. There’s going to be complaints across the board, but I think the game’s in a good place.”

Kevin Durant expected to miss at least one week with sprained ankle, out for the coming road trip
Is this the final nail in the coffin of the Suns’ season? Is it time for them to shut it down?

Kevin Durant’s ankle sprain and Sunday’s Rockets beatdown were the thousandth cut, but this Suns season has been dead for a while now. Free for everyone, I wrote about it, their postgame comments, and how it reminds me of a scene from my favorite movie: bit.ly/4cg5cK3 – 12:03 PM

More on this storyline
“We don’t care not one bit about any of those records,” Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said. “They mean something, but in the grand scheme, they don’t. We’re after one thing and one thing only. That’s what’s on our mind. Everything else we don’t care about.” The Thunder’s 28-point win over the Bulls was their 49th double-digit win this season. With that, they passed the 2016-17 Warriors — Kevin Durant’s first and best season in the Bay Area — for the second most double-digit wins ever. Assuming they get two more (and the Pelicans and Jazz remain on the schedule), they’ll break the record of 50 set by the 1971-72 Lakers — you know, the team that employed prime Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain. -via New York Times / April 1, 2025

Didn’t travel to Milwaukee. Expected to miss multiple games. Suns at Celtics Friday, at Knicks April 6. #Suns -via Twitter @DuaneRankin / March 31, 2025
