With rumors that Nets guard Kyrie Irving could leave this offseason, conversation has sparked around the future of Brooklyn co-star Kevin Durant’s future if Irving is traded.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski clarified Durant’s intentions while speaking on the network ahead of the 2022 NBA draft on Thursday night.
“I’m told that Kevin Durant has not told the Nets that if Kyrie Irving leaves, that means he’s going to ask for a trade,” Wojnarowski said.
Rumors previously circulated that Durant would leave Brooklyn if his star teammate did, too, but per Wojnarowski, that is not the case.
