As the NBA trade deadline approaches, Kevin Durant has made it clear that he has no interest in returning to the Golden State Warriors. According to ESPN's Shams Charania, Durant "does not want to go back to the Warriors, where he won two championships, won two Finals MVPs."
The Warriors have been actively seeking to bolster their roster for another championship run alongside Stephen Curry. Their pursuits have included high-profile players such as Durant and LeBron James. However, Durant's reluctance to reunite with Golden State has led the Warriors to reconsider their options.
Durant's tenure with the Warriors from 2016 to 2019 was marked by significant success, including two NBA championships. Despite this, he appears focused on his current role with the Phoenix Suns.
Reports suggest that Durant may prefer to remain with the Suns or consider other opportunities, such as a potential move to the Miami Heat, amid ongoing trade rumors involving Jimmy Butler.
As the trade deadline looms, the Warriors must explore alternative strategies to strengthen their team, given Durant's clear stance against a reunion.
