Barely eliminated from the playoffs with his Nets, Kevin Durant decided to temporarily leave New York and take a short excursion. For the occasion, the Slim Reaper has just put down its suitcases… a few kilometers from France for a very special occasion!
Instead of brooding over his disappointing performances for days, you might as well get a change of scenery and surround yourself with loved ones. Kevin Durant hasn’t had an easy time lately, while the Nets were sharply eliminated from the playoffs by the Celtics (0-4). Unrecognizable during this series, the 2014 MVP has since suffered heavy reprimands from fans and US analysts.
Solid behind his shell, the Slim Reaper continues to live despite his usual lifestyle. As he is used to, for example, he flooded the Twitter feed of his subscribers, with viral cracks that flipped the web. But even if it means finding yourself already on vacation, you might as well take advantage of it by flying off to exotic corners. That’s exactly what he did recently, landing… in France!
Kevin Durant, a luxury spectator… of AS Monaco
No doubt looking for escape in this complicated period, Durant received an invitation a few days ago from his former teammate in Brooklyn, Mike James. A member of the New York franchise last year, the 31-year-old leader has since joined AS Monaco, with whom he is currently playing in the quarter-finals of the Euroleague. This Friday, he will therefore play match 4 of his series against Olympiakos… under the watchful eye of KD according to The Team !
A double NBA champion will be present at the edge of the floor on Friday evening for Monaco’s match 4 against Olympiakos in the quarter-finals of the Euroleague. A few days after his elimination in the play-offs with Brooklyn, Kevin Durant is present on the Rock at the invitation of his ex-teammate at the Nets, Mike James. The double Olympic champion went to the Gaston-Médecin room for the first time on Friday morning.
With some 4,000 seats, the Monegasque hall should have no trouble filling up following the revelation of this news! For their part, the Roca Team will have some added pressure, while Durantula will closely follow their performance in the stands. A presence that may allow Saša Obradović’s men to boost their energy for this crucial meeting.
Indeed, Mike James and his partners will be forced to win tonight against their Greek opponents, otherwise their adventure on the continental scene will come to an end. On the other hand, if successful, it is a Game 5 in Piraeus to which they will be entitled in a few days. Durant will then be obliged to follow the French team on its journey, he who would then become its lucky charm!

In a Gaston-Médecin room certainly heated to white, AS Monaco will therefore be able to find a big guy of 2m08 in the stands, and not the least. It’s up to Kevin Durant to provide all the support necessary for the Roca Team to emerge victorious in a few minutes!
