Despite dealing with a heartbreaking personal loss, Kevin Durant will play tonight when the Golden State Warriors host the Indiana Pacers.
Over the night, Durant’s long-time close friend, Cliff Dixon, was murdered in Atlanta, Georgia. Even more tragically, Dixon was shot while celebrating his own birthday.
Durant, who has publicly referred to Dixon as his “adopted brother”, thanked his friend in his famous MVP speech.
Words cannot describe what Durant, his family, and all of the friends and family of Dixon are going through in the wake of this senseless tragedy.
