Kevin Durant News
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant recently admitted he has thought about calling it quits. "As I get older in the league and the league is getting younger, I tend to think about retirement more," said Durant. "Should I stop thinking about it? What is that? But it creeps in my mind for sure." The 35-year-old finished last season by averaging 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 5.0 assists while shooting 41.3% from behind the arc. While Durant has been in the league for well over a decade, he is as good as ever. Fantasy managers should consider him a first-round draft pick heading into the 2024-25 campaign. However, his dynasty stock will fall somewhat after his recent revelation.

Kevin Durant Becomes All-Time Leading Scorer For Team USA
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant made history on Tuesday, becoming Team USA's all-time leading scorer in Olympic competition. Durant already held the top mark among male players after moving past Carmelo Anthony last week, but he's now the record holder among both male and female players. Durant had 11 points in a 122-87 victory over Brazil in the Paris Olympics quarterfinals, surpassing Lisa Leslie, who posted 488 points during her Team USA career. Durant will head into the semifinal battle against Serbia sitting on 494 points. A calf injury threatened to ruin Durant's Olympics campaign, but he's been in impressive form and continues to get buckets with ease, even while being seven weeks away from his 36th birthday.

Kevin Durant "Loves" Being In Phoenix
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is set to become an unrestricted free agent in 2025-26 after his four-year, $194 million contract expires. While he would immediately draw interest from most clubs around the National Basketball Association, Suns CEO Joel Bartelstein doesn't appear concerned about things getting to that point. "The most important thing is Kevin Loves being here, and we love having Kevin here," said Bartelstein recently. "We're always having dialogue. The relationship is what matters the most. The relationship is in a great spot." Durant remains one of the league's top performers, recently averaging 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.2 blocks in 75 games in Phoenix last season. With that in mind, Durant is anticipated to remain a potent fantasy producer for at least a few more seasons if he stays healthy. The 35-year-old has until October 21 to agree on an extension.

Kevin Durant Leads Team USA To A Win
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (calf) scored a game-high 23 points in Team USA's win over Serbia. Earlier in the week, it was reported Durant was expected to miss this one. However, he was cleared for action after practicing the last few days. The 35-year-old is still productive despite his age. In 75 games with the Suns last season, Durant averaged 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.2 blocks while shooting 41.3% from behind the arc. If Durant stays healthy, which has been an issue throughout his career, he has a top-10 fantasy upside for the 2024-25 campaign. Team USA will look to remain unbeaten against South Sudan on Wednesday.

Kevin Durant Practicing, Status Still Unknown
According to ESPN's Brian Windhorst, Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant has resumed practicing with Team USA ahead of the 2024 Summer Olympics. However, Durant's playing status remains a mystery, with Team USA head coach Steve Kerr stating there will be a "big collaboration" regarding when he will play. Fortunately, it appears the multi-time All-Star is moving in the right direction. While Durant likely won't suit up versus Serbia on Sunday, it appears he has a chance to get on the floor soon.

Kevin Durant Likely Out Against Serbia
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (calf) isn't expected to suit up when Team USA begins their quest for a gold medal against Serbia. While Durant is anticipated to play at some point during the 2024 Summer Olympics, head coach Steve Kerr is taking things slow while the superstar recovers from a calf injury. Without question, his presence will be needed. However, fantasy managers are more eager to see if this will turn into something that will impact Durant's status to begin the 2024-25 campaign.

Kevin Durant Expected To Return To Team USA Practice
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (calf) has missed the last two weeks of Team USA practices due to a minor calf strain. According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, Durant is expected to return to full practice on Friday. He may even play in the team's next exhibition game on Saturday against South Sudan. If he doesn't make it in time for Saturday, his next chance to play will be Monday's exhibition against Germany. Team USA hasn't lost in any of their exhibition games yet, but they've experimented with different starting lineups that center around Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Joel Embiid. When Durant returns, it wouldn't be crazy to think he slots into the starting five.

Kevin Durant Will Miss Start Of Team USA Training Camp
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant (calf) will miss the start of Team USA training camp. The veteran is dealing with a calf strain, although Team USA head coach Steve Kerr indicated that the injury is "not bad." Durant finished last season by averaging 27.1 points, 6.6 rebounds, 5.0 assists, and 1.2 blocks. He also appeared in 75 games, his most since the 2018-19 campaign, and shot 41.3% from deep. Of course, fantasy managers will want to monitor the ailment in case it becomes something more heading into the regular season.

Suns Not Interested In Moving Kevin Durant
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant has drawn heavy links with the Houston Rockets this week, but he isn't expected to leave the team after his first full season in Arizona. According to NBA insider Shams Charania, there is a "zero percent" chance Phoenix will move Durant this offseason. The Suns reportedly still have a big belief in the current roster's ability to compete for a championship, and the Big Three of Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal will remain intact under new head coach Mike Budenholzer. Durant will turn 36 in September, but he continues to perform at a very high level and should be expected to do so again in 2024-25.

Rockets Targeting Kevin Durant
Phoenix Suns forward Kevin Durant is drawing interest from the Houston Rockets. According to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski, the Rockets want to trade for Durant after acquiring the rights of the Suns' couple of draft picks from Brooklyn. Wojnarowski added that the Rockets might even be looking at adding Phoenix's younger superstar, Devin Booker. However, the Suns have no plans for a big trade at present, as the franchise remains in win-now mode. Durant's move to H-Town would be fascinating, to say the least, in real life and from a fantasy perspective. But it looks like it currently remains only a dream for the Rockets fans.
