The Phoenix Suns have officially confirmed the departure of Kevin Durant, marking a major turning point for the franchise. After months of speculation and trade rumors, the Suns have decided to move on from the superstar forward, signaling a significant roster overhaul as they continue to build around Devin Booker.
Despite reports suggesting the organization was hesitant to part ways with Durant, tensions behind the scenes—particularly after the Suns explored trade options without informing him—ultimately led to this outcome. The fractured relationship made a long-term future in Phoenix unlikely, paving the way for this high-profile exit.
With Durant now on his way out, the Suns face a crucial offseason in which they must reshape their roster and acquire the necessary assets to remain contenders in the Western Conference. More details on the trade package and the team’s future plans are expected to emerge in the coming days.
