Patriots' Terrance Knighton ready to resume Kevin Durant recruitment to Celtics

With good friend Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder one win away from a trip to the NBA Finals, New England Patriots defensive lineman Terrance Knighton has paused his attempts to coerce the former MVP to join the Boston Celtics this summer.

But the Windsor, Connecticut native who signed this offseason with the Patriots has pledged to resume his full-court press once Durant's season is over.

"I'm leaving him alone right now. Letting him finish up," Knighton told reporters earlier this week at Patriots' offseason training activities at Gillette Stadium.
