Kevin Durant lashes out about Knicks talk

GREENBURGH -- The Knicks found themselves a topic of lively discussion Thursday, thanks to a player who has been mostly silent – Kevin Durant.

After eight days of refusing to speak to the media, Durant made it clear Wednesday night that he is not happy with everyone’s assumption that the Knicks’ recent trade of Kristaps Porzingis means that he is headed to New York.

“I have nothing to do with the Knicks,” Durant said. “I don’t know who traded [Kristaps] Porzingis. That got nothing to do with me. I’m trying to play basketball.”

Knicks coach David Fizdale said he heard about Durant’s comments but did not see them.
