Sources: Durant declines $31.5M player option

Golden State Warriors star Kevin Durant has declined his $31.5 million player option and will become an unrestricted free agent, league sources told ESPN.

Durant and business manager Rich Kleiman are in New York, evaluating free-agency options.

Durant ruptured his right Achilles tendon in the second quarter of Game 5 of the NBA Finals and underwent surgery earlier this month.
