Kevin Durant and DeMarcus Cousins exchange words after ‘fistfights’ claims

The Phoenix Suns were arguably the most disappointing team in the NBA this season. Despite having three star scorers on the roster, the Suns failed to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 season. The team had problems, including a lack of defense and almost no bench strength.

Former NBA player DeMarcus Cousins claimed on “Run It Back” that there were fistfights within the Suns’ locker room.

His claim received a big pushback from his former teammate, Kevin Durant. The Suns’ star, who is the biggest name on the trade market, replied to a post by NBA Central on X and called Cousins’ claim “bulls**t.”

"I have to contest this 94 footer. This some bulls***t to throw on us," Durant wrote. “Yea yea yea we were trash this year ha ha ha but we NEVER got close to this. NEVER."

Later, Cousins responded, saying his source was a Suns player.

"The source was one of your teammates killa. 🤷🏿‍♂️ And I wasn’t referring to you! . Save this shit for the others homie…"

Although Durant defended his team, if the trade market news is true, the two-time NBA champion is nearly out of Phoenix. Teams including the San Antonio Spurs and the Houston Rockets have emerged as viable destinations for the All-Star player.
