LOS ANGELES -

Those are the three teams Durant would commit to for a longer term, per the ESPN report on June 14. He has one season left on his current deal and is set to earn US$54.7 million (S$70 million) in 2025-26.

While word of Durant's preferences has spread across the National Basketball Association, the Suns also have been clear that they will make the best move for the team, regardless of the desires of the 15-time All-Star.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are also expected to be among the teams in the mix for a trade.

Durant, who turns 37 in September, played 62 games for the Suns in 2024-25. He averaged 26.6 points, 6.0 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.2 blocks, not far off his career averages. He also shot 43.0 percent from three-point range.
