About this listen
Kevin Durant, the 37-year-old Houston Rockets star, has dominated headlines this week with his triumphant return from injury and sharp social media jabs. Times of India reports he was listed probable for Wednesdays matchup against the Boston Celtics after sitting out with a mild left ankle sprain from stepping on an opponents foot during a win over the Indiana Pacers on February 2. Coach Ime Udoka called it precautionary, and Durant suited up, boosting the Rockets fourth-place Western Conference push at 31-17.
Sports Illustrated details Durants latest troll fest after Suns fans mocked him online for lacking a 40-point game this season while ex-teammate Dillon Brooks dropped 40 on the Pistons. KD clapped back with 31k for his career points, Top 6 for his scoring rank, and I rather u hate me. It makes me better and gets u aroused. Win win, reminding everyone of his steady 26.5 points per game on elite efficiency despite missing just two games.
The biggest biographical milestone hit February 1 when Durant earned his 16th All-Star nod as a Western Conference reserve, per Texas Longhorns Athletics and Fox 26 Houston, tying him for fourth all-time behind LeBron James, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Kobe Bryant. Hes now the oldest All-Star in Rockets history, topping Clyde Drexler and Hakeem Olajuwon at 34, while averaging 26.2 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 4.6 assists on 51 percent shooting.
Bleacher Report caught Durant swatting down Paul Pierces idea of a Warriors statue for his two-title run, posting then deleting that hed settle for a mural outside the mens bathroom at Chase Center. CeraVe roped him into their Moisturize Like a Derm campaign as the tongue-in-cheek New Face of Legs, riffing on years of viral dry ankle memes with social teases and paparazzi gym shots, according to MediaPost. ABC7 notes his summer trade from Phoenix still echoes in deadline chatter. No public appearances beyond games, but his villain arc fuels the buzz as the All-Star Game nears February 15 in LA.
