Kevin Durant Articles - Page 85

Kevin Durant put on a show on Sunday for the Brooklyn Nets. The player many feel is the best in the world came into a matinee vs. Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, and the New York Knicks and put on his own personal fireworks display. There was no Kyrie Irving in the game, although bizarrely he […]

Kevin Durant was his own spectacle on Sunday, dropping 53 points, six rebounds and nine assists in the Brooklyn Nets’ showdown with the New York Knicks. KD dominating isn’t the weird part though. It’s that Kyrie Irving was in the stands watching the game as a fan, even though he’s not allowed to play. That […]

Kevin Durant scorched the New York Knicks in a win for the Brooklyn Nets. He scored 53 points on 19-37 shooting and added nine assists, six rebounds and two steals in the Nets’ 110-107 win over their crosstown rivals. Durant the Knicks have plenty of history together, though much of it is predicated on something […]

STOCKTON, Calif. — James Wiseman made his NBA G League debut with the Santa Clara Warriors on Thursday. It had been 11 months since the Golden State Warriors big man last played in a professional game. Emotions were running high leading up to the game, so Wiseman tried a couple of things to calm his […]

The Brooklyn Nets spoiled what was supposed to be a glorious night for the Philadelphia 76ers and their fans.

Durant tallied 25 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists while shooting […]

Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets straight up mopped the floor with the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night. So much so that Los Angeles Lakers icon Magic Johnson was confident enough to crown them the kings of the Eastern Conference already. Magic tweeted out after the game, as he is wont to do, […]

The Brooklyn Nets absolutely insisted this game wasn’t too special. It’s another regular season game they told us over and over. But the energy in the Wells Fargo Center for Nets-Sixers should have told everyone it wasn’t just another game. Not even to a couple seasoned superstar vets like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving. Former […]

The Philadelphia 76ers got completely destroyed at home by Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in what turned out to be an anti-climactic matchup. This battle between two favorites from the Eastern Conference was built up as a potential classic as both teams looked to make a statement. Imagine the disappointment of Sixers fans as […]

The Brooklyn Nets just embarrassed the Philadelphia 76ers in their own home court. Kevin Durant and Co. came firing right out the gate and they never looked back, cruising to a 129-100 blowout win in what was supposed to be a highly competitive matchup between two of the favorites in the East. The biggest narrative […]

The Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets turned up the intensity as soon as Thursday’s marquee matchup started. There was a lot on the line in this contest, and the revenge narrative for the Sixers and Nets only added more fuel to the fire. The lingering “beef” between Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant was on full […]

The biggest game of the year, at least in terms of storylines and national coverage, is here: the Brooklyn Nets head to tackle the Philadelphia 76ers. The two Eastern Conference powerhouses that made the biggest trade of the season (swapping Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, and Andre Drummond and picks for James Harden and Paul Millsap) […]

The time has finally come. Following a blockbuster deal at the trade deadline, the Philadelphia 76ers and Brooklyn Nets will face off in a nationally televised matchup on Thursday night. James Harden will square off against his former running mates in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, while Ben Simmons is expected to be on the […]

Much has been made between Thursday night’s highly-anticipated clash between the Brooklyn Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. Apart from the fact that basketball fans will be treated to an intense matchup between two of the favorites to come out of the Eastern Conference this season, the underlying narrative is that of the Ben Simmons-James Harden […]

The Brooklyn Nets are fighting tooth and nail to try and avoid the play-in tournament but as of right now, it’s a sad reality. However, actually getting newly-acquired Ben Simmons on the court would be a huge help. The Aussie continues to recover from a back injury that he sustained when he ramped up his […]

The Brooklyn Nets’ stars have downplayed many of the contests we fans would call “big games” so far this season. Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving mostly did the same again ahead of tonight’s matchup vs. Joel Embiid and the Philadelphia 76ers. But because these two teams made a monster trade at the deadline, there’s certainly […]

The Brooklyn Nets and Philadelphia 76ers are preparing for one of the most anticipated showdowns of the season. While Ben Simmons’ return to Philly after being traded by the Sixers to the Nets is the main headline, the battle between Joel Embiid and Kevin Durant will dominate the on-court action. Both Embiid and Durant are […]

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant has grown tired of all the comparisons between LeBron James and Michael Jordan. KD has chimed in on the raging debate with a very interesting take that could possibly put an end to all of this. In a recent episode of The ETCs with Kevin Durant podcast, the Nets star decided […]

Kyrie Irving dropped 50 points on 19 shots in a massive win for the Brooklyn Nets, as they defeated LaMelo Ball and the  Charlotte Hornets Monday. But now all eyes turn to the next game on the schedule. The Nets head to Philadelphia March 10, to take on a 76ers squad with whom they just […]

Following an impressive win over the Chicago Bulls last Monday, the Philadelphia 76ers have arguably their most anticipated matchup of the season coming up on Thursday. They will be hosting Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets in a nationally televised matchup. This will be the first time the two teams will square off following the […]

James Harden’s exit from the Brooklyn Nets might not have been beautiful or graceful, but Kevin Durant understands where his now two-time ex-teammate came from. After Tuesday’s win over the Charlotte Hornets, Durant was asked about Harden’s departure and their upcoming meeting with the Philadelphia 76ers. While KD played down the “rivalry” narrative as a […]

Kevin Durant didn’t have his best game against the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday night. Thanks to Kyrie Irving dropping 50 points in spectacular fashion in a 132-121 Brooklyn Nets win, it didn’t really matter. However, not everyone is about the bottom line when it comes to game results. Sports bettors in particular are privy to […]

Arguably the biggest matchup after the All-Star break has got to be the Philadelphia 76ers hosting the Brooklyn Nets. These two teams finally face off on Thursday as James Harden and the Sixers look to mark a win against his former team. As it turns out, however, Harden isn’t exactly hyped about the upcoming matchup. […]

Coming in to Tuesday night’s game versus LaMelo Ball and the Charlotte Hornets, Kyrie Irving was only eligible to appear in six more regular season games for the Brooklyn Nets. Just six! So presumably, he knew he needed to make each one count. Irving was an absolute assassin against the Hornets and sent a reminder […]

Philadelphia 76ers fans have had March 10 circled on their calendars ever since the team traded Ben Simmons to the Brooklyn Nets for James Harden. They’re hoping for the chance to boo the two-time All-Star who stopped wanting to play for them. Simmons cited mental health struggles as the reason he did not suit up […]

The Brooklyn Nets continue to stumble along as the postseason draws closer and closer. While Kevin Durant is back in the lineup, Kyrie Irving is still a part-time player and Ben Simmons isn’t ready to make his debut yet because of a back issue. Now, a key veteran in LaMarcus Aldridge is dealing with a […]

Kevin Durant became just the latest member of the 25,000 career points club, joining an elite list of names. The Brooklyn Nets star did this during their game against the Boston Celtics. It’s an incredible achievement, one that not a lot of former stars can say they’ve ever reached. Kyrie Irving certainly thinks he can […]

Washington Wizards big man Kristaps Porzingis has fully embraced his “Unicorn” nickname now after Kevin Durant gave it to him, but it didn’t start that way. According to the big man, he didn’t like it at first since he didn’t understand it or know where it came from. Speaking to the media after making a […]

On Sunday, the Boston Celtics won a thrilling battle against the Brooklyn Nets, 126-120. The win was Boston’s third straight and 14th victory in their last 16 games. All seems right with the Celtics, but that’s not entirely accurate. Former Celtics star forward Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis was seen trying to take someone else’s front […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant doesn’t seem to be too impressed about reaching 25,000 points. That or he’s just not in jovial mood after losing to the Boston Celtics. On Sunday in their showdown with the Celtics at TD Garden, Durant became just the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points after exploding […]

Kyrie Irving isn’t shy and he isn’t boring that’s for sure. And his description for Boston Celtics fans who boo him and have words for him during games, won’t do much to improve the “relationship” he has with his former fan base. The Brooklyn Nets visited Irving’s former team on Sunday afternoon. But it was […]

Kyrie Irving knows how great of a scorer Kevin Durant is, but even the All-Star guard was in awe after witnessing his Brooklyn Nets teammate become just the 23rd player in NBA history to reach 25,000 points. The Nets playmaker has nothing but huge praises for Durant, who exploded for 37 points against the Boston […]

The Brooklyn Nets simply could not contain Jayson Tatum on Sunday, as the Boston Celtics’ star dropped 54 points in the statement victory. Late in the game, Kevin Durant couldn’t mask his frustrations, shaking his head in disappointment following another Nets defeat. Kevin Durant’s reaction to Nets losing 6 of last 7 during Jayson Tatum’s […]

In nearly two full seasons, Brooklyn Nets head coach Steve Nash has rarely had a fully healthy team. The Kevin Durant-Kyrie Irving-James Harden trio barely took the floor at the same time, resulting in massive disappointment. Swap in Ben Simmons for Harden and things haven’t improved at all yet. The latest timetable for Simmons’ possible […]

The Brooklyn Nets lost head coach Steve Nash on Monday after the 48-year-old shot-caller was forced to enter the league’s health and safety protocols.  Brooklyn has lost all three games in Nash’s absence and it is clear at this point that they need him back on the sidelines as soon as possible. The Nets have […]

It’s all water under the bridge at this point, but it seems like we we shall continue learning more about the unceremonious end to the Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, James Harden Big 3 era in Brooklyn. Harden is of course in Philadelphia, where the 76ers are 3-0 in his brief stint with Joel Embiid. Whatever […]

Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant made his much-awaited return on Thursday night. He hasn’t played since January 15 when he sprained his MCL. The Nets, however, fell to the Miami Heat, 113-107. While he admitted there are no moral victories after the game, Durant seemed to have maintained his sense of humor. Maybe he’s just […]

As expected, Kevin Durant had a strong performance in his first game back after a month and a half on the sidelines. KD dropped a game-high 31 points on Wednesday, but in spite of his heroics, the Brooklyn Nets were unable to hold off a shorthanded Miami Heat side. Wednesday’s 113-107 loss was the Nets’ […]

The basketball world has long been anticipating Kevin Durant’s return from injury and on Wednesday night, we all got our wish. After nearly seven weeks on the shelf nursing an MCL sprain, KD finally returned to action for the Nets as they faced off against the Miami Heat. Even Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James […]

Prior to tonight’s game on the road against the Boston Celtics, Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant would earn some high praise from Hall of Fame center Shaquille O’Neal during the NBA on TNT pregame show. "Ja Morant is a guy that wants it all."@TheJetOnTNT & @SHAQ talk Ja's stellar recent performances. pic.twitter.com/BD6BUEB2ZC — NBA on […]
