[Saba Sports News] Kevin Durant is shifting his focus back to the Phoenix Suns after a record-setting summer with Team USA. Unlike the optimistic outlook for Team USA, fans are more skeptical about the Suns’ chances this season. This was highlighted when a fan heckled Durant during a press conference where Jalen Rose asked about his expectations for the upcoming season.
Jalen Rose asked Durant, “What can we expect from you and the Phoenix Suns this year?”
Fan: “Nothing!” The response drew laughter, and the crowd even started chanting for the New York Knicks. While the exchange was lighthearted, Durant appeared momentarily caught off guard. Despite the fan banter, there are high expectations for the Suns, with anything less than a championship being seen as a failure.
Durant, who averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists last season, is determined to lead the Suns after facing criticism for the team’s early playoff exit in 2024. With a full offseason to build around Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, the pressure is on for the Suns to deliver.
