Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant found himself in the headlines again after fans claimed that he was behind a burner account that trashed his former and current teammates in a group chat.

Fresh from commenting on the All-Star game’s intensity, Kevin Durant of the Houston Rockets is now facing claims that he used a secret X (formerly Twitter) account to insult current and former teammates.

During All-Star Media Day, a reporter asked Durant if he had to choose between video games and the social media giant for […]

Houston Rockets veteran Kevin Durant doesn’t agree with the notion that the NBA’s All-Star Game was more intense than today’s era. Golden State Warriors veteran Draymond Green blasted the All-Star game’s new format as the association attempts to make its signature event more competitive after lackluster responses in recent years. For Durant, he doesn’t agree […]

There are times where the Rockets look as though they badly need a floor general to organize their […]

When a franchise trades for Kevin Durant, it signals genuine urgency for a championship. Windows don’t stay open forever, after all.

That’s why the Houston Rockets’ silence at the 2026 NBA trade deadline landed with such a thud across league circles. This season, […]

The Houston Rockets have been one of the most exciting stories in the Western Conference this season, and a big reason for that has been the steady, lethal scoring of Kevin Durant. On Tuesday night at the Toyota Center, fans witnessed more than just a regular-season clash against the Los Angeles Clippers; they saw history […]

The Houston Rockets haven’t been playing a very inspiring brand of basketball as of late. Their lack of a reliable floor general to organize the offense seems to be costing them, and their inactivity during the trade deadline did not help matters whatsoever. And amid the Rockets’ turbulence in recent weeks, many have been trying […]

Recently, the Washington Wizards shook things up by trading for Dallas Mavericks big man Anthony Davis.

It was bad enough when the Houston Rockets lost at home to their rivals, the San Antonio Spurs. But what’s followed in the 10 days since has been even worse, as the Spurs appear to have put out the blueprint on how to stop this Rockets team. Houston led by eight at halftime of that […]

Kevin Durant is on a mission to help the Houston Rockets secure a championship, and he knows the challenges it takes to get there.

It does not appear that Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant will be tuning into Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, at least according to what he told Kay Adams. During an appearance on The Up and Adams Show, Adams asked Durant about his status for Super Bowl 60. He said he’s “doing better” after his […]

It’s been said that the Houston Rockets have no interest in trading forward Tari Eason. However, the Chicago Bulls are interested before Thursday’s NBA Trade Deadline.

Alperen Sengun made a loud statement Monday, pouring in 39 points in a Houston Rockets victory over the Indiana Pacers in his first game since being left off the All-Star roster.

But the Houston Rockets star seems to have found his footing with a huge game to start the calendar month of February. He […]

As far as NBA All-Star snubs go, Alperen Sengun’s exclusion from the 12-man roster that will be taking the court in February is as close to dumbfounding as it can get. Sengun did miss some time earlier in the season, but when healthy, he’s been an unstoppable force for a Houston Rockets team that’s currently […]

On Saturday evening, the Houston Rockets held on for a narrow home victory over Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks. It was a relatively quiet game from guard Reed Sheppard, who had just six points on the evening, missing all four of his attempts from beyond the arc. Still, Sheppard has been on a heater […]

Cooper Flagg was thrust into an environment that was boiling over in anger following the Luka Doncic trade.

He was forced to answer questions about the hostility, all the while trying to find his footing as a de facto point […]
