このコンテンツについて
Kevin Durant’s life has been a whirlwind in the past few days, and NBA headlines are once again orbiting around one of the game’s greats. After the blockbuster June trade that sent Durant from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets—a move unveiled onstage at Fanatics Fest and lauded as the biggest swap of the NBA offseason—the league’s schedule release has only poured more fuel on the KD fire. Fox 26 Houston and NBA insiders are buzzing about the Rockets suddenly becoming a national TV darling, now slated for 28 prime-time games, a huge bump from previous years and direct proof of Durant’s massive drawing power. But there’s drama: Durant and the Rockets have yet to reach terms on a max extension, and extension talks are reportedly at an impasse, prompting speculation about his future as 2026 free agency looms, according to Sporting Logically. Rockets fans, who expected a long-term embrace, might have to brace for uncertainty.
Opening night will have Durant facing his old squad, the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder, on their ring night in OKC—a matchup dripping with sight and symbolism, according to ABC 7 and Fox Sports Radio New Jersey. The Oklahoma crowd is famously conflicted on Durant, who left them in 2016 for Golden State, and now returns as the foil to their celebrations in perhaps the ultimate NBA narrative. He’ll also make a much-anticipated return to Phoenix on November 24, highlighted by NBA Today and Sports Illustrated, and that game is expected to come with a frosty reception and plenty of media stares.
On the business front, Durant is in the headlines again as Boardroom Sports Holdings, the investment firm he co-founded, struck a strategic partnership with the Qatari owners of Paris Saint-Germain, as reported on Instagram. This adds more international magnitude to Durant’s already massive business portfolio, and expands his venture reach alongside other NBA legends active in business empires, such as Chris Paul and Stephen Curry, according to Sportskeeda. In the VC world, Business Insider keyed in on Durant’s Thirty Five Ventures still helping shape the creator economy.
Social media has played its part in the Durant news cycle too: BET detailed a pointed, if cryptic, comment Durant made regarding Steph Curry’s legacy and Finals MVP tallies during a lively X (formerly Twitter) exchange. Fans and reporters alike parsed his words for subtle shade and commentary on his own place in the NBA hierarchy. As the Rockets brace for the new season—one that shapes up as a referendum on the KD trade’s wisdom—the Durant story remains the most anticipated NBA saga, blending basketball, business, and social media intrigue with every new headline.
