Kevin Durant addressed the possibility of signing a one-year, $59.7 million extension with the Phoenix Suns for the 26-27 season. Durant became eligible to sign the extension on July 12 and would have until Oct. 21 to sign it.
“I got two years left on my contract,” Durant said, a day after he turned 36 years old. “I’m focused on being the best I can every day in the moment. We’ll figure out that stuff when it’s time.”
The Suns acquired Durant from the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the 2023 trade deadline.
“Everyone talks about Kevin, Kevin loves it here,” Suns team owner Mat Ishbia said Monday. “We love Kevin Durant. We talk to him and his agent, Rich Kleiman, all the time. We don’t really go through contract extensions publicly, but I’ll tell you this. Kevin loves it. We love Kevin. We plan on Kevin being here. Nothing is changing with that.”
“We love having KD here,” James Jones said. “We want him here. We’ll figure that out. Like Mat said, we don’t really talk about that publicly, but the thing we do talk about publicly is who really wants to be here and who is a great fit for us. So we love KD, he loves being here. That goes without saying.”
