Kevin Durant returned to Brooklyn on Wednesday (Jan. 31), delivering a loss to the Brooklyn Nets.
The game was Durant’s first visit to Barclays Center since requesting a trade to the Phoenix Suns. He dropped 33 points, eight assists, and five rebounds in the 136-120 win.
The game featured Durant paired with his new big three of Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. Already limited for the year, the trio surprisingly put in more time on the court than the Nets version with Durant, which featured Kyrie Irving and James Harden.
“We didn’t have enough time together. That’s just it,” Durant told ESPN. “Guys wanted to go their separate ways. We tried our hardest to, you know, salvage everything and everything together. We had three or four different teams [from] when I signed here until when I left. But at the end of the day, I enjoyed coming to work, playing for, being a part of this community and playing, representing Brooklyn; regardless of what went on, what was said or how I felt, I still came to work.”
