Kevin Durant Shuts Down DeMarcus Cousins’ Claims of Locker Room Fistfights with Suns

The narrative surrounding Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns has reached a troubling juncture. Recently, there have been allegations of altercations within the Suns’ locker room as the franchise seeks a trading partner for the 15-time All-Star. Durant continues to provide ample material for fans and media scrutiny, now emphasizing his resilience. Since joining Phoenix two and a half years ago, Durant has worked under three different coaches. The 2024-25 season marked a particularly disheartening chapter, as they failed to make the NBA playoffs despite having the league's highest payroll, missing out on even the Play-In Tournament. In a prompt response to DeMarcus Cousins’ claims, Durant took to X, staunchly denying any such incidents. He expressed, “I have to contest this 94-footer. This some bullshit to throw on us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we were trash this year, but we never got close to this. Never.” Known for his candidness on basketball matters, Durant remains actively engaged with discussions about his career.
