NBA: Kevin Durant soon set for his near future

Published on May 27, 2023 at 4:12 p.m.

If Kevin Durant hoped to win a third NBA championship this season, he will have to watch the Finals from his television. On vacation after the elimination of the Suns against the Nuggets in the semi-finals of the Conference, the winger was even seen in Monaco for an ASM match in the playoffs of the French championship. The Slim Reaper is therefore having a good time while waiting to learn more about its future.

Difficult to judge the 2022-23 season of Kevin Durant. His detractors will be quick to say that it was a huge failure for him, but it is clear that he will not have been quiet throughout the exercise. Beyond its trade last February, KD was once again disrupted by injuries and saw his integration into the Suns truncated in early spring. Finally, he will never have really succeeded in cohabiting with Devin Booker during the postseason and Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets got the better of him.

Who to replace Monty Williams?

Elimination vs. Denver not only put the performances of Durant highlighted. Monty Williams, at the head of the team since 2019, was thanked by his frankness. Enough to fuel a lot of rumours. Several candidates are filling the currently vacant position. Doc Rivers sacked by the 76ers, Nick Nurse by the Raptorsthe former assistant of Monty Williams Kevin Youngthe former Lakers Frank Vogel et l’assistant de Michael Malone To Denver Jordi Fernandez are the main favorites to train Kevin Durant To Phoenix next season.

Everything is accelerating in Phoenix

According to information from John Gambadororelayed by our colleagues from Basketball USAeverything could go very quickly to Phoenix in the next few days. In effect, Fernandez et Nurse passed their interview with the leaders of the Suns THURSDAY. On their side Doc Rivers et Vogel were expected this Friday for the same reasons. Still according to the journalist ofArizona Sporteverything could be clearer for Kevin Durant by this weekend or at least by June 1, when the NBA Finals start.
