The Straits Times
|June 24, 2025
Two-time National Basketball Association (NBA) champion Kevin Durant has been traded from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets for eight players in a blockbuster deal, he confirmed on June 22.
WASHINGTON –
The swap will send the 36-year-old American forward to Houston in exchange for guard Jalen Green and swingman Dillon Brooks, as well as the 10th pick in the June 25 NBA Draft and five future second-round picks, according to the report, citing unnamed sources.
The move unites Durant, a four-time Olympic champion with the United States and the 2014 NBA Most Valuable Player, with a young Houston squad guided by coach Ime Udoka. The Rockets finished the regular season 52-30, second in the Western Conference behind the NBA-best Oklahoma City Thunder (68-14).
Durant was appearing on a panel at Fanatics Fest in New York when the news broke and he told reporter Kay Adams he was happy with the move.
