When the Houston Rockets traded for Kevin Durant over the summer, fans were thrilled, but they also knew the reality of the situation—Durant turned 37 at the end of September. He signed a two-year, $90 million extension in October, meaning that the final season on his deal is 2027-28, a $46 million player option. Will KD be done after that?
Brian Windhorst said on his podcast, "Brian Windhorst & The Hoop Collective," that Durant is "heavily motivated" to play on the United States' Olympic team in 2028. Tim Bontemps chimed in and said that as long as KD doesn't deal with a significant injury, he could "easily" play a few more seasons.
