Recent reports suggested that the Warriors could be interested in a potential reunion with Durant, who left the franchise in 2019 to join the Brooklyn Nets and is now with the Phoenix Suns. While no official trade discussions have been confirmed, rumors have been circulating about whether the two-time Finals MVP could return to the Bay Area.
When asked about the situation, Curry acknowledged Durant’s legacy with the Warriors but remained focused on the present. “KD is one of the best to ever play the game. What we accomplished together was special, but right now, I’m focused on this team and what we’re trying to build,” Curry said in a post-practice interview.
The Warriors, currently navigating an up-and-down season, have been linked to trade possibilities as they look to strengthen their roster. Some analysts believe that bringing Durant back could provide the scoring and leadership the team needs. However, salary cap concerns and trade assets remain key obstacles in any potential deal.
Durant, for his part, has not publicly commented on the rumors, but sources close to the situation suggest that he is committed to Phoenix. The Suns have built a strong roster around Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal, making any trade unlikely unless circumstances drastically change.
For now, Curry’s comments indicate that while he respects Durant’s impact on the Warriors, his focus remains on leading the current squad. With the trade deadline approaching, it remains to be seen whether these rumors will fade or gain traction.
